Obituary for William Jefferson Horton
"The Newnan Herald"
Friday, February 10, 1933 issue, page 1

Mr. W. J. Horton Passes Early Saturday at Senoia
(Special Senoia Correspondence)

Again the Angel of Death visited in our midst on Saturday morning and carried
away the soul of Mr. William Jefferson Horton, leaving sad hearts crushed by
the unexpected blow.

Mr. Horton has been in poor health for many years but recently had seemed to be
improved.  He retired at the usual hour Saturday night but called Mrs. Horton
later.  She arose and ministered to his needs.  She thought he was getting
easier when Death came and called him to the Great Beyond.

Mr. Horton was born near Williamson in Pike county on Feb. 25, 1870 the son of
P. T. and Amelia Cook Horton.  He was married to Alice Nixon on May 4, 1893.  He
had been a citizen of Senoia since August 1905.  A kind, loving father and a
devoted husband, and industrious citizen and consecrated friend, he left sorrow
in the lives of his loved ones.

Funeral services were conducted at the residence Sunday afternoon at two o'clock
by Rev. J. B. Gresham and interment was in the city cemetery.

Surviving him are his wife and two children Miss Mozelle Horton, of Atlanta, and
Mr. Paul Horton, of Montgomery, Ala., and three grandchildren.

Correction to the above: William J. Horton was the son of P. F. (Peyton
Flournoy) and Parmelia (Cook) Horton.
