"WHIT" HAS CROSSED OVER THE RIVER
Monday morning at five o’clock, Mir good friend H. C.
Whitfield passes over the river, where we are sure that he
is resting in the shade of the trees, awaiting the rest of his
friends. Death came as a shock to his many friends, who
never thought for a minute that there was anything serious
the matter with him.
As Mayor of the City of Pembroke it had been our
pleasure to have Mr. Whitfield as a member of our Council,
and we are going to miss him.
He was known to one and all as “Whit,” good natured,
accommodating to the ’nth degree, and the friend of every
one, big. little, young or old, as well as white or colored. We
do not believe that he ever hurt any ones feelings or harmed
the first human being.
He was loved, honored and respected by all.
We are going to miss “Whit,” and we feel sure that our
good friend has departed this life for a better and happier
place in the unknown beyond.
