where she met Davis Simpson. To this union one son was born.
Argusta married Julius Harden in 1955 and to this union six children

Argusta confessed her faith in Christ at New Macedonia Church under
the leadership of Pastor James Washington, where she served faithfully
as the church clerk.
In 1976, Argusta married Fort Oliver and to this union one son was

Baptist Church and at the time of her death, she was a proud member
