Harmon for a job as a school music teacher. She packed her bags and moved to Duplin County where she taught music for seventy years. During her career she changed the lives of many children through music. Left to cherish her memory is her son, W. J.

Mrs. MIDDLETON taught me so much more than music. EVERY person she met was changed and forever touched by her light. Heaven has reclaimed an Angel . . .

Mrs. Middleton was such an accomplished musician. She was an important part of worship at Warsaw Presbyterian when I was growing up, as well as the organist at our wedding. My condolences to W.J.
