AuctionZip Auction News: THE ESTATE OF THE LATE FLOSSIE STALLWORTH OF QUITMAN, MISS., WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION ON SATURDAY, MARCH 5, BY STEVENS AUCTION COMPANY:

"When Flossie Stallworth was born, William Howard Taft was the President and the average life expectancy of a woman was just over 50 years. Flossie beat that expectation by nearly double. She was a proud and determined woman, widely respected for her grace, consideration and love of life and family. She also loved antiques, buying only the very best.

When Mrs. Stallworth's mother and sister passed before her, their collections (also thoughtfully accumulated and meticulously maintained) became part of her collection. In true Flossie style, at the spry age of 99, she organized her antiques with great deliberation and set plans in motion for the sale of her fine collections following her passing. That time is now."
