64 years old, died suddenly in his
office in the court house in Atlanta,
on Saturday morning.
The funeral services were held at
St. James' Episcopal chruch at 4
o’clock Monday afternoon, and were
conducted by the Rev. R. R. Clai
borne.
The beautiful hymns, “Lead, Kind

sung by the choir. The interment
was in the Episcopal cemetery, the
pall-bearers being Judge George F.
Gober, Dr. C. T. Nolan, Mr. John B.
Peschau, of Atlanta, Mr. R, de T.

Mr. Joe Abbott. In addition there
was gn honorary escort formed by the
entire Marietta; bar, together with
the following representatives of the
Atlanta bar: Judge Luther Rosser,
Jr., Judge J. B. Ridley, Judge Eu
gene Thomas, Judge Puckett and
Judge Hathcock, together with all
court attendants. ‘
The floral offerings were remark
able for their number and beauty.
Among the many lovely pieces were
those from the Municipal Court, of
Atlanta, the Marieta Bar Association,
the Rector and Vestry of St. James’
Church, the Atlagnta Court Report
ers, the Colonial Dames Society, and
numbers of others.
Numbers of out-of-town friends
attended the funeral. , Among them
were Mr, and Mrs. J. M. Sanders,
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Moore, Mrs.
Lewis Hoppe, Miss Frances Law, Miss
Laura Margaret Hoppe, Mrs. Pick
ens Cole, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Talley,
Mrs. Latimer, Miss Marion Fielder
Mr. Fielder, and Mr. Sam Wilkes, all

Mr. Willingham is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Annie Williams,
of Dalton, {wo daugliters: Mrs.
George Peschau and M#s. Richland

four sons, Messrs. Harold, Robert and
-LHerbert Willingham, of Marietta,
iand Charley Willingham, of Decatur.

C. Willingham, one of the oldest and
most prominent editors in Georgia.
When quite a young man, Mr. Wil

great Alexander Stephens when he
was in Congress. The families have
¢ontinued warm friends ever since,
and Judge Aleec Stephens, Judge of
the Court of Appeals, and Dr. Robert
Stephens, of Atlanty, were present
at the funeral. . He afterwards be

filled for 29 years. For the past 7
years he has been official “stenogra
pher fer the Municipal Court, of At

there.
His loyalty to his friends, his gen
ial ways, his kindness of heart, gnd
unfailing courtesy endeared him to
an unusually wide circle of friends;
while his business integrity, accuracy
and skill in his profession won him
the respect of all. Mr. Willingham
had mgde Marietta his home for the
past thirty-years, and was known as
one of her prominent and most pop
ular citizens.
He left home apparently in his
usual good health and geod spirits
Saturday morning, and his sudden

munity, as well as to his associates
in Atlanta; ‘
He will be sadly missed by his
family and friends.

to a great many of them the vacancy
left by him has never been forgotton.‘

charges with the accuracy of a skill-!
ed lawyer. He was kind, pleasant
and courteous to the membérs of the
‘Bar, and his motto was “Duty First.”

official capacity, but we deplore his
ldeath as a citizen, neighbor and
,friend. We deeply sympathize with
‘his family in this their sad hour of
‘bereavement; they have lost a kind
land affectionate husband and father.
Resolver further—That a copy of
this Memorigl be sent to his family;
that the Judge be requested to have
it entered upon the Minutes of the
Court, and that the County Papers
be requested to publish the same,
