By GWK: Aunt Pearl (Wright) Arnold (b 1908) was Mary Louise Lawson King's maternal aunt, the eldest sister of Hattie Wright Lawson. Hubert Lawson and Hattie Wright lived happily in Chattanooga until Hattie died in childbirth when Minerva was born in 1935. Hubert never fully recovered from her death. Aunt Pearl eventually became responsible for the three sisters and two brothers, raising them like they were her own. They moved to Aunt Pearls home at 2512 Long St where Louise and I were married 14 years later. Aunt Pearl died in the late 1980’s (date is available.)
