Death of Mrs. G.W. Childress

The many admiring friends of Mrs. Childress learned with regret of her death 
which occurred at the home of her sister, Mrs. John F. Cargile in Macon.  Rev. 
and Mrs. Childress are well remembered here.

She came here as a bride some years ago, a perfect picture of health possessing 
one of the handsomest physiques we ever saw.  With a kind, genial social 
disposition and charming manners made a host of close friends here who extend 
their deepest sympathy to the bereaved ones.

Friends in this county and they are many, of Mrs. G.W. Childress were grieved 
last week to learn of her death which was the result of a lingering illness.  
The end came peacefully at the family residence in Macon Sunday night April 
30th.   The body was taken to Americus, her former home, for interment on 
Monday.  The service at the grave was conducted by Rev. O.B. Chester.  
Accompanying the body to Americus were her husband, Rev. G.W. Childress, their 
daughter, and a sister of the deceased.

Mr. Childress was pastor of the Butler Methodist Church for two or three years 
and while serving in this capacity his wife entered into the spirit and life of 
his work, visiting and ministering in a modest way into the spiritual and 
social needs of the community, adding to her long line of friends many new 
recruits.
