from Joe Lott:
Obituary of Lalla Currie Lott, Coffee County Progress, 14 Dec 1939
Lalla Currie Lott
Mrs. Lalla Currie Lott highly esteemed and prominent in church and club affairs, died at her country home Sunday night after an extended illness of several years.
Mrs. Lott was born in Washington county, she was Miss Lalla Currie before her marriage, and the daughter of the late Elaine Jones Currie and Thomas A. Currie.
She moved with the family to Broxton in 1905. She taught in several schools in the county, later teaching in the Broxton school where she taught until her marriage to Jesse Lott in 1908.
She was endowed with superior gifts and graces. Her qualities of mind and heart fitted her for the many phases of life in which she entered. She is gone from this changing abode but her fruitful, fragrant influence is an ever-blooming, never dying flower, and only time and eternity can measure the fullness of the power she weilded in the hearts and lives of all with whom she came in contact.
Frail beyond her years, for the past two years, it was significant that her outlook was always cheerful, always buoyant, and always helpful. It was marvelous how she managed it. The answer must be found in her indomitable courage, her steadfast determination, and her unfaltering faith in God. She was ever unafraid, and undismayed.
She was a member of the Broxton Methodist Church, a member of the Woman's Club and a member of the State Woman's Christain Temperance Union.
The Rev. S. J. Brown, pastor of the Broxton Methodist church, and the Rev. I. K. Chambers, pastor of the West Green Methodist church read the funeral rites which took place in the Methodist Church.
The rare and exquisite floral offerings marked the expressions of affection held by many friends.
The pall bearers were Jesse Newman, J. G. Traynham, S. C. Rogers, T. J. Smith, M. A,. Denton, and L. L. Denton.
Besides her husband, Jesse E. Lott, she is survived by an adopted son, Evans Lott, his wife and four children, one sister, Miss Myrtie Mae Currie, a brother, Fletcher Currie, of Greenwood, S. C., and an only aunt, Miss Sallie Jones.
She was buried in the Broxton Cemetery with Tanner-Poindexter in charge of the funeral arrangements.
