The Troy Messenger 1-25-1940
COWART, CHARLES ALBERT (9-16-1859 – 1-20-1940)  The Troy Messenger 1-25-1940

	Hepzibah Happenings:  Residents here extend deep sympathy to our esteemed
neighboring community, Little Oak [Ala., Pike County], on the homegoing of one
of its best beloved members, Mr. C. A. Cowart, whose sudden death last Saturday
noon [Jan. 20, 1940] came as a distinct shock to his family and friends.  He was
the brother of Mrs. Milton Whaley who preceded him to the grave by six and one
half years.
	Rarely are found combined in one character more lovable traits, higher ideals,
a more brilliant intellect, kindness, thoughtfulness, a deeper and more abiding
faith in the Lord Whom he served devotedly, uniform courtesy toward all with
whom he came in contact, than were illustrated day by day in this exemplary
life, which will remain as an incentive and inspiration to all who knew him.
	Among those who attended the funeral of Mr. C. A. Cowart at Little Oak Sunday
afternoon were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones, A. D. Jones, Sam Whaley, Wiley
Sanders, Lester Whaley, Mrs. L. E. Whaley, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Massey, and
Mrs. Robert Massey.

 



Additional Comments:
Mr. Cowart was born Sept. 16, 1859 and lived with his parents, Jackson and Nancy
Carter Cowart, in the Little Oak area at least part of his childhood.  “Alabama
Deaths and Burials Index 1881-1974” shows that he married Mora Lillian Cross on
11-7-1889, and U.S. Censuses 1880 to 1910 show that he and family lived in the
Darby’s Beat area of Pike County.  By 1920, they were at Little Oak.  His wife
died in 1935.  He was a farmer.  He died at age 81 and was buried in Little Oak
Cemetery.  References:  findagrave.com, Memorial #126811831 and obituary at
