Bio

Larkin Merritt Birdsong is the son of Fremon Gustavis & Cynthia Martha Cardin Birdsong His wife Sarah Elizabeth Abernathy Birdsong doesn't have a marker. She was born 21 Sept. 1851 and died 8 Nov. 1916. The Pulaski Citizen December 30, 1920 LARKIN BIRDSONG DEAD Larkin Birdsong died at his home at Bethesda, Dec. 27, 1920, aged 73 years and ten months. He was born and lived his entire life in that community. After any one is dead, we can always find good in them, but here was one who you never heard a word spoken against while he was living. Peculiar in many ways, he was as true and harmless as a man could be.. He was out of the county but once; was never on a jury; never voted and was never a witness in a trial; never rode on a railroad or automobile, and probably never made as much as a thousand dollars in one year during his long life. His home was of the old type, but it was a home of peace and happiness. Funeral by Rev. W. L. Harwell at Bethesda where he was laid away to rest until resurrection morn.
