Tribute To
Walter McDonald
On Sunday morning around
1:30 o’clock February 19. 1961,
Covington and Newton County
lost, a good citizen in the pass
ing of Mr. Walter Hugh Mc-
Donald.
He was born and reared in
Henry County except three
years he lived in Bronwood. He
was the son of the late Mr. B.
O. McDonald Sr. and Mrs. Hat
tie Stewart McDonald. On
July 31, 1937, he married Miss
Frances Crumbley of Kelly
Town and soon afterwards
they moved to Covington. He
• was employed with the Big
Apple for 19 years. He was the
possessor of a general person
ality and in his business con
tacts made countless friends
throughout the county. Walter
Hugh was a member of Hope
well Associate Reformed Pres
byterian Church. He was a
Deacon of the Church and in
this office he was most faith
ful. He was loyal and active
in all phases of the work of
the church.
For sometime, Walter Hugh
was a sick man and every
possible effort was made by
medical skill to bring back
health, but God ordered it oth
erwise and took him to Him
self. He enjoyed the visits of
his pastor and visiting min
isters and the words of promise
from God’s word upon which
he rested his hope.
He will be sadly mi-fced in
the county, and in his ch-mch,
but most of all in his home. He
was a devoted husband and
son and a loving father and
brother.
In the departing of our be
loved brother, we are remind
ed that the race of life comes to
an end in this world and the
torch is handed another. May
we. the living, continue faith
fully the race in which he ran
so well.
In addition to his wife, he is
survived by two daughters and
one son, Mrs. Leon Savage and
Miss Judy McDonald and Wal
ter Hugh McDonald Jr.; moth
er, Mrs. B. O. (Hattie) Mc-
Donald; two brothers, C. L.
McDonald and B. O. McDonald
Jr., both of Atlanta and one
grand-daughter, Tammie Sav
age of Covington. A large con
course of relatives and friends
and the many lovely flowers
attended to the esteem in
which he was held.
We extend our heartfelt sym
pathy to the sorrowing love
ones and commend them to the
Heavenly Father, whose prom
ise is: “I will not leave you
comfortless; I will come unto
you.”
Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at Har
well’s Funeral Home with
burial in Lawnwood Cemetery
conducted by the pastor. Dr.
T. B. Mcßride and Rev. T. J.
White, pastor of the Covington
Presbyterian Church.
The nephews were pallbear

A HOME WITH PERSONALITY
We offer for sale some of the most desirable property in
Oxford. Here, on more than an acre of land, right in the
heart of this delightful neighboring town, you will find a
lovely, old home which, although it has been tastefully re
decorated, has retained all of its original charm.
A wide veranda extends across the front and around one
side of the house. The two front rooms each has a door open
ing from the front veranda, and French Doors from the side
of the living room bring in the outdoors, as well as adding to
the convenience. There are seven large rooms, and 3 baths
which are so grouped that two, or even three apartments
can be easily arranged. The, spacious attic would provide
several more large rooms, at a minimum cost. Gas heaters
assure cozy warmth in cold weather, and high ceilings and
cross ventilation invite cool summer breezes.
This home sits on a lot that fronts three streets, and is
surrounded by fine old trees and well-planted grounds. And
spring bulbs are bursting into bloom all over the place.
There is a large building on the back of the lot, and the low
er side is more than adequate in size for another house, with
plenty of space between. On the upper side, facing Emory
Street, there are two 5 room houses, which are in excellent
condition. These would bring a nice income as rental proper
ty.
This estate can be bought as a whole; or the owner is
willing to divide it, selling the larger house by itself, and the
two smaller houses as a unit.
No appointment is needed to see this attractive plac a .
Just call us, at your convenience, and we'll drive over and
take a closer look. It will be well worth your time, and there
is absolutely no obligation. We are at your service.

The world is such a lovely

It matters not where ever

You can seek and find the

There’s so much loveliness

In rain-clouds and sunny skies,
And hearts stand still with
love revealing
In a baby’s trustful eyes.
There’s sweetness in each,
clear bright mornings.
And gold-moon’s encrusted

In flaunting fields of gay wild
flowers
Crowning the earth, like a
diadem.
There’s beauty in the greening

With understanding loves and

It is up to us to keep it so.
