The Flomaton Journal, Thursday, July 4, 1946
Death Claims W. S. Sturdivant Saturday
        Willis Mathew Sturdivant, age eighty-four died at his home in Century, 
Saturday afternoon.
   He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Carrie Sturdivant, two sons, W. P. of  
Tacoma. Washington, and O. O. of San Antonio, Texas, three daughters, Mrs. 
Eugenia Remore, of New York City, Mrs. J. B. Goodwin, Ontario, Canada, and 
Mrs. B.A. Sullivan of Birmingham, Alabama,  three sisters, Mrs. L. C. Parcia, 
Bluff Spring, Mrs. Annie Sweney, and Mrs. Albert Nelson of Bulf Point, Fla. 
and one brother, A. H. Sturdivant of Bluff Springs, five grandchildren, and 
one great grandchild, seven nephews and four nieces.
   He became a member of the  Baptist Church as a very young man and was an 
active worker throughout his lifetime, except for the last few years when he 
became disable to attend. He was a deacon for over 50 years and always ready 
to help the sick and needy.
   Honorary pallbearers were: Aubrey Simmons, John Cain, Vivian Stanton, Edgar 
Archer, Howard McDavid, J.P. Harrison, Allen and John Barrett.
   Active pallbearers were Arthur Aubrey, G. M. Madrin. Curtis Sturdivant, 
Proctor Gunsey, and Lee Gunsey.
   The Rev. R.J. Kay officiated. The Flomaton Funeral Home was in charge. 


Additional Comments:
The following article was given to me by Judy Jolly. Note: There are some 
spelling errors in this article, therefore I wonder if the reference to Bulf 
Point, Fla., might be in actuality Gull Point, Fla., as Both Albert Nelson and 
his wife Effie are buried in Gull Point Cemetery. Also, the Mrs. L. C. Parcia 
mentioned in the article is probably Julia Sturdivant who  married Loring 
Garcia. This couple is buried in Crary cemetery where the  above mentioned  
Willis Mathew Sturdivant is buried.
