George W. Martin
The Clarke County Tribune
Clarke mourns with Lauderdale in the going of George W. Martin. He passed away at his residence on the Jackson Highway a few miles north of the Clarke County line May 14th. For several months he has been in a rather serious condition and it was apparent to all--even himself--that the end was near. For a few days he seemingly took a turn for the better and his friends began to hope for his ultimate recovery. But on Wednesday night the end came.
He was a good and true man, pronounced in all his convictions and courageous enough to enable him to stand by them at all costs, even though he might be standing alone. At the age of 18 years he became a member of the Baptist Church and lived a consistent life as such to the day of his death. He was also a Mason and believed in this ancient order with all his soul and tried to conduct his life according to its worthy precepts.
He was born March 14th, 1886. December 21st, 1887 he married Miss Mary Olivia Johnston. To this union 14 children were born. Four died in infancy. The ten living are: Mrs. G. E. Walker, Mrs. M. B. Carmichael, Mrs. J. O. Giles, Mrs. J. B. Phillips, Jr., Misses Toy and Eula, and George I., John, Leo, and James Martin.
His body was laid to rest in the New Hope Cemetery May 25th, the following ministers assisting the pastor, Rev. W. S. Culpepper; J. S. Slaughter, of Stonewall; B. S. Vaughan, of Meridian: G. B. Walters, of Lauderdale County; and R. S. Gavin, of Quitman. After the services in the meeting-house the Masons took charge of the remains and concluded with their beautiful and impressive ceremony. A large concourse of friends and relatives were in attendance.
Mildred Virginia Walker
The Clarke County Tribune
On Friday, May 19th, little Mildred Virginia Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Walker, of Crandall, was taken by the clutches of death to her eternal home in Heaven after an illness of nearly three weeks. She was seventeen months and nine days old. She was a very beautiful little child, and everyone in Crandall thought her one of our dearest little ones. Many are the memories of her going to be but we must not think of her as being dead for she is not. She is amongst the beautiful little flowers in Heaven, resting in Gloryland. Little Mildred, like all others, was budded on earth to bloom in Heaven, and now, since she is at rest in the arms of Our Almighty Father she will never have even a taste of life's troubles, which should be a great consolation to the bereaved ones. Let the loved ones brighten life's journey by preparing to meet her again never to depart.
