Hmm…I wonder if the Honorary Pallbearer, Mr. Flowers, lived in my house on N. State St.? It is now called the “Flowers/ McLaurin House” and I never delved into who the Flowers family was. The house sat unoccupied for many years until my Dad, Max McLaurin, bought it around 1950-1951 for $25,000 cash. He always paid for everything in cash. Extensive renovation took over a year. I was 10 when we moved from Gillespie St. My first thought was, “what a dump! 10 years of weeds and overgrown brush in the front yard!” The inside was equally dismal. After my mother’s redecorating (with the help of a professional) it was in magazines!

That was my grandmother's maiden name. He had two furniture stores in Jackson
