W. P. Vonderau Obituary 
Clarke County Courier, Athens, Georgia, Novemer 30, 1909

-	- - - - - - - - - -

After lingering for awhile the death angel invaded the home of Mr. W. P. 
Vonderau and carried him away to brighter realms.  Yes he lingered and fought 
manfully for a longer life, but was overcome and no death in Athens has ever 
cast a deeper gloom over our community.  He was one of the truest noblest 
christian characters we ever knew.  He reflected his religious in his life.  
He was a true friend, a devoted father, and beloved his family most tenderly.  
His life was most admirable.  He was honored as alderman for many terms and 
his very best efforts were put forth for his city  We deeply sympathize with 
his bereaved family in their irreparable loss and with the city upon losing so 
valuable a man.  The funeral service was conducted by Dr.Jenkens in a most 
impressive manner. 

At foru o’clock Sunday afternoon the funeral of Mr. W. P. Vonderau was held at 
the Baptist church. 

The mayor and council and the city officials, the members of the police and 
fire departments, the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and Woodmen of the 
World, attended in a body. 

After the prayer by Dr. Jenkens, the choir sang “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” 

The remains were entered in Oconee cemetery.
