Birthday Luncheon
Given Mrs. J. A. Wills
By Her Children
(By A Friend)
One of the sweetest and most
gracious gestures of the fall season,
was the luncheon given by Mrs.
Hoke Gurley on Saturday, honoring
her mother, Mrs. J. A. Wills, on her
birthday.
Mrs. Gurley was assisted in en
tertaining by her sisters, Mrs. Nat
Long and Mrs. W. J. Culberson.
This affair was planned and came
as a surprise to Mrs. Wills. Her out
of-town children had gathered, as
is often their custom, for a week
at home, and Mr. Culberson, carry
ing out his part of the plan, sug
gested to Mrs. Wills that he would
like to visit her farm and some oth
ers around town, and would be
pleased to have her go with him.
Being an old country girl, and hav
ing spent the early years of her
married life on the farm, she im
mediately accepted his invitation.
Their absence from the house gave
the daughters a chance to complete
already advanced plans for the love
ly meal to be served.
By the time Mrs. Wills arrived
from her trip to the country-side, a
group of grandchildren, friends and
neighbors had assembled in the
living room, and greeted her with
“Happy Birthday to You.”
Vs ♦
Mrs. Wills, who has the ability to
,•2 * V
easily adjust herself to her environ
ment was at once responsive, and
lent herself to the occasion, and
greeted everyone with that deep
and sincere welcome, which is sot
naturally hers.
' ' .'n
When greetings had been spoken,
she was escorted to the long dining
table, which was laid with an emr
broidered linen cloth, and with her
girlhood friend, Miss Dora Wilhite
at her side, her sisters, and those
nearest and dearest to her, her chil
dren, around her with friends and
neighbors seated at card tables, the
entire party was served a delicious
meal.
After lunch, the family and guests
gathered in the living room, where
the honoree was presented a beauti
ful birthday cake, and many other
attractive gifts, together with con
gratulations and good wishes for
many more years of useful and
fruitful living.
Accepting the Christian 'way of
life in early life, Mrs. Wills has (for
many years been an outstanding in
fluence for good in the religious
and church life of Jefferson. For a
number of yeari, many girls com
ing to Jefferson to teach in the
schools, found a home in her house,
and a haven in her motherly care
and protection. These girls are scat
tered over a wide area of the state,
but they never let an opportunity
pass to come by to see her a few
moments, in appreciation of the
many kindnesses shown them in
other years.
And so it is, that through the
years, Mrs. Wills has grown into
what she is today, one of God’s
noble women—deeply endeared to
those who know her, keenly alert
to the joys and of folk in
this little city which she loves So
dearly. She remains interested in
topics of country-wide and national
importance, and being interested,
she is always interesting.
Mrs. Wills has three living chil
dren, 11 grandchildren, and 9 great
grandchildren, who do “Rise up and
call her blessed.”
Covers at the luncheon were laid
for Mrs. Wills, her sisters, Mrs. L. A-
Richardson, of Atlanta, Mrs. R. D.
Medlock of Norcross, Mrs. J. O.
Braselton, Mrs. H. L. Verner of

mother, Mrs. Lucy (Boswell) Wil
son, who passed away one year ago,
October 29, 1949.
’Twas so sad to see you go,
The pain and heartache, no one

But it is sweet to know you are at
rest at last.
Some glad day I’ll be with you

Forever on the Throne, to hold your
hand.
Oh! How sweet to know that it is
not goodbye,
It is only good-night.
Her Son,
