    Notes:

    Catherine B. Jimison
    Mon, you left us today,
    You had to go.
    You left us with this loneliness,
    We all loved you so.
    God in His garden
    Need a very special rose,
    You were the very best,
    And the best is what he chose.
    Catherine Bernice Jimison of Russellville, Ohio, was born September 8, 1912, to Rosie (Moody) and Sanford Harris. She passed away Sunday, July 22, 2001, at the Ohio Valley manor.

She married William Herman Jimison on July 4, 1928. This union was blessed with the birth of 15 children. The family continued to grow steadily over the years with the addition of spouses and over eighty grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
