Clay County Watchman
Mr. Editor: Will you please allow space in your valuable paper to announce the 
ad news of the death of sister Whatley, wife of David Whatley, who departed this 
life February 2nd a.d 1885. Sister Whatley was a citizen of Clay County, Ala., a 
loving, cheer-established and faithful and affectionate companion, a loving, 
tender and fond mother. She was a member of the Baptist church, and ever 
faithful to the cause of Christ; her husband was a deacon of the same, and true 
to assist in the work. Her orderly walk and conduct says with the image she bore 
that she was of God's blessed ones. She was the mother of six children, also six 
stepchildren, and lived to see them all converted and attached to the church of 
which she was a member, except two, her membership being at Concord church. She 
also lived to see all of her sons-in-law and daughters-in-law become attached to 
the same church, making twenty-two in all. We mourn her loss his wife, mother, 
sister and neighbor. But with this we have all reason to believe that she is 
with the corps of the blessed. For in life, even in the midst of her most severe 
pain, she often repeated the words, "I am ready, I am willing, I am prepared go 
home". May her husband, children, sisters, brothers and friends strive to meet 
her in that World of Bliss. The funeral of our dearly beloved sister will be 
preached, expected by W. T. Davis is and E. M. Moore, the 3rd Lord's Day in 
April at 11 o'clock a.m. from Revelations 14; 13, a passage of scripture 
selected by her husband. In remembrance of the sister, we can sing Asleep in 
Jesus, blessed sleep; From whence none ever wake to weep; A calm and undisturbed 
repose. Unbroken by the last of foes.  E. E
