Mrs. rioUie Whitehead.
To the memory of Mrs. Mollie
Whitehead, nee Mobley, -wife of
Mr. R.- Whitehead, who died Oct.
37th, 1903, aged 52 years. Mollie
was born in Crasy ford county on the
23rd day of April, 1850, and was
married to Mr. R, Whitehead Dec.
6th, 1876 by Mr. Robert Owens.
She united with the Baptist church
at Harmony when quite a girl, and
lived and died an exemplary Chris
tian life. She was the mother of
four children, Mrs. Maggie Ludlani,
Jimmie, Bessie and Ethel White
head, the former having died about
two years ago, the other three
children are at home.
Mollie us a neighbor was aTwavs
ready and willing to administer to
the wants and necessities of the
poor and needy in her community,
and none knew her but to love her.
As a parent she was indulgent,
kind and loving and no sacrifice was
too great for her in the interest of
the loved ones that God had given
to her. As a daughter she had few
equals and no superiors, her devo
tion to her afflicted father for years
was so strong and untiring as to
attract the commendation and love
of all wiio saw it. She was equally
us affectionate and tender to her
mother who was her great care after
father's\dcuth, As a sister, the
writer never knew of such extreme
devotion as existed between the
deceused and Dr. Lewis Mobley of
Byromville, who was with her and
at her bedside nil the time during
her sickness and administered to her
every want. Mollie often saying,
“Bud how can I ever repay your
goodness to me,” As a wife she
was an exception and all her aims
was to smoothe the way of her
husband who held the highest pluce
in her esteem; her every effort was
to cheer, comfort and strengthen
“Reason." “Yes, Mollie,” ’tis
hard to give you up. We miss you.
As neighbors and friends we miss
your cheerful words and your kind
deeds; as relatives we miss your
affections and smiles, but as husband
and children at home—so lonely, so
berefl-i—we cannot describe in
words how we miss you. But to
the rulings ot Divine Providence
we in submission bow, for we know
our Heavenly Father is too wise to
err and too good to do wrong.
We sorrow not ns those who have
no hope, for we feel thnt our loss
is your eternal gain. Farewell!
but not forever. We hope to meet
you in that great beyond where
there are no sorrows and tears, and
where partings will be no more.

As yet nothing has been heatd of

tracks, but he is being sought with
unabated interest and many believe
that it is only a question of time
when his capture will be effected.
“Murder ,will out” is an old
adage that has been proven time
and again and it is hoped that
Bundrick will soon be in custody to
answer for this grave charge.
Andrew, speaking to a News
reporter stilted that he was not near
the scene of the crime and hopes to
prove an alahi, he also states that
George would clear him of all
blame were he here, and that it is
a conspiracy hatched against him.
He was placed in the murderers
cel) in Americus to await legal
uction.
