McWhorter, of St. Marys, reached the city Monday morning en route from Anniston, Ala., whither he had gone to see his youngest son, who was ill there of typhoid fever. At Atlanta he met and passed, without knowing it, the corpse of his dearh boy in charge of his wife and older son, who had preceeded [sic] him several days to the bed side of the sick boy. On reaching Anniston Mr. McWhorter heard of the death of his son for the first time, reaching here three o’clock Monday morning. He left on the Cracker Boy for Satilla Bluff, where he was met by his buggy. The others reached here last Saturday and chartered the steamer Inca and carried the remains of the dead son back to his home. As Mr. McWhorter narrated the sad tale to us his big heart swelled with emotion and often choked his utterance. The young man had but a short time since left the paternal roof to enter business in this new field, but the summons came and the cord was snapped, leaving naught but sorrow in its track.
