The Passing Of
Mr. E. M. Whatley
Although it was generally known
that Mr. Whatley was in a serious
state of health, the sad news came
as a shock to his many friends and
his family did not realize he was
so near the end when they visit
ed him last Friday. The message
was somewhat confused and his
family did not know he,had passed
away until his daughter, Mrs. May-
son, from Greenville arrived Sun
day morning. He passed into the
great beyond near five o’clock Sat
urday afternoon, April 11, 1931.
Mr. Whatley had lived in this
community something over forty
years and probably in the same
house. He was of a reserved Ma
ture, was a Christian gentleman, a
deacon of Rehoboth church for
many years. He was a man who
believed in right dealing; he loved
his church and was a regular at
tendant until his sad affliction sev
eral years ago; he always loved his
pastors and liked to have them
visit him.
The news spread over the com-
Mrs. B. I. Mayson of Greenville,
Mrs. Dewy Talbert of Lincolton,
Gai, Miss Lenora Whatley; son,
Will Whatley, several sisters and
brothers are left to mourn.
Although in his sad afflictiqn
we know he is better off with a
just God than in a sinful world, it
is sad to see our friends pass on
one by one, still we should realize
God makes no mistakes, and in
heaven all diseases are healed.
There is no suffering and pain
there and no separation for those Mr Frank Mattison of McCor-
who love and'obey the father. :“ ick wa f a business visitor in Mt.
These sad afflictions draw together
how much more rejoicing over one
like Mrs. Wright? Surely the
angels are watching to see if it is
one of their loved ones coming
home. In my imagination it seems
to me the angels must gather
around as we poor weak mortals
to have a last look here on earth,
but ours is in sadness and theirs
must be only joy and peace there.
For a block or more cars parked
on each side of the street before
reaching the home of Mrs. Durst,
where the body was viewed by a
great throng of people, relatives
and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wright
and the Durst family. The yard,
hall and parlor were crowded with
people all ages. Surely this too
must be like a heavenly scene for
we know precious in the sight of
God are the deaths of his saints.
It was the desire of mai>y to in
some way try to comfort the duti
ful sister who has meant so much
in this world, not only to her own,
but from the bounty of her gener
ous heart has made life’s burden
lighter for many. Surely she has
a great reward laid up for her in
the land where the sun never goes
down.
In the spacious parlor in a lovely
casket lay the mortal remains of
our departed friend. Half around
the room was a border of rare and
beautiful flowers that bore mute
testimony of the love and esteem
that was felt for our friend. Sad,
but beautiful, to take up heavenly
abode on Easter, the resurrection
day of our Lord, after his sufferer
ing. The tender hand of God had
smoothed the suffering brow, and
placed peace and love where pain
was.
The long procession slowly moved
to the silent city of the dead. The
pall bearers were nephews of Mr.
and Mrs. Wright. Her pastor, Dr.
Sims and Rev. W. L. Coker led a
short service at the grave; scrip
ture reading by Rev. Coker in both
testaments; two songs by a male
quartette, “Abide With Me,” as the
body was lowered to its last rest
ing place, then “Good night.”
To the husband in his sorrow,
to the wonderful sister, to all oth
ers who are grieved, may God com
fort you is the wish of your friend.
