The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 1, 1916
Mr. T. W. Woolfolk Dies Suddenly

Mr. T. W. Woolfolk, one of Grady's most highly respected citizens, passed away 
Wednesday morning at the office of Dr. J. E. Wright in this city.  The direct 
cause of his death being heart trouble.

Mr. Woolfolk who lives about five miles south of town, came to Cairo about 9:30 
o'clock Wednesday morning and having been under the treatment of a physician 
for the past few days, he went in to see Dr. Walker.  Dr. Walker being busy 
with another patient, Mr. Woolfolk went over the the office of Dr. J. E. 
Wright, just across the street.  Mr. Woolfolk stated to Dr. Wright that he 
began to feel sick and very dizzy on leaving home about an hour before, and he 
felt like he was going to faint.  Dr. Wright immediately gave him a dose of 
medicine to relieve his suffering and laid him down on a bed, until he could 
see another patient in his office.  He went back to see Mr. Woolfolk in a few 
minutes and saw that he was not getting on so well.  Seeing the condition of 
the patient, the Doctor sent out after another doctor and himself immediately 
left for the drug store to get some medicine to administer to Mr. Woolfolk.  
Upon his return from the drug store, five minutes later, he found Mr. Woolfolk 
in a dying condition.  Dr. Wright did everything in his power to save his life, 
but he passed out in a few minutes.

Mr. Woolfolk was 62 years of age and was one of the county's best known farmers 
and business men.  He is survived by his wife, five sons, Messrs. Walter 
Woolfolk of Brewster, Fla., Berry Woolfolk of Pearce, Fla., J. H. Woolfolk of 
Greenville, Fla., Tom Woolfolk of Brewster, Fla., with his parents, four 
daughters, Mrs. G. J. Cook, Mrs. A. H. Vanlandingham and Mrs. Leon Chason, all 
of this county, and Mrs. Peyton Miller of Pavo.  He is also survived by one 
brother, Mr. James Woolfolk of Davorere, California and numerous relatives and 
friends.

At the time of going to press no funeral arrangements had been made.

The Messenger extends condolence to the bereaved ones in their hour of sorrow.
