Wm. Whatley who died the day previous at the home of his son-in-law Mr. Cox in Fayetteville. If our venerable friend had lived until Aug. 22nd he would have been 100 years of age. His mother lived to be 103, the writer officiating at her funeral many years ago and it was by special request of her son that we officated at his funeral also. The funeral took place at the Baptist church in Fayetteville and was largely attended. The deceased had been a member of the Baptist church for seventy-two years. He represented Fayette county in the Legislature some years ago and was also postmaster at Fayetteville one or two terms, and for a number of years filled the office of Justice of the Peace. He lived long in the world and spent an active life. He will be missed in the home, in the church and in the community. He is survived by his second wife, several children and a large number of grandchildren, to all of whom we extend our sincere condolence. Additional Comments: Hon. Whatley is buried at Fayetteville City Cemetery.
