The Cairo Messenger, Friday, November 2, 1917
Remains of J. D. Wimberly Laid To Rest

The remains of Mr. J. D. Wimberly, who passed away in Madison, Fla., last 
Friday, October 26th, was brought to Cairo last Saturday.  The funeral services 
were held Saturday at Tired Creek church, interment following in the cemetery 
nearby.  The services were conducted by Rev. J. P. Swann at 9 a.m. being 
attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.

Mr. Wimberly had been a sufferer for several years with a cancer, which was the 
immediate cause of his death, and had gone to Madison to a sanitarium in search 
of health.  He had been there for nearly a year.  Mr. Wimberly was 56 years of 
age, the 26th of June and had been a consistent member of the Baptist church 
for about forty years.

Mr. Wimberly was one of the county's best known farmers and was for a number of 
years, foreman of Mr. W. B. Roddenbery's plantation.  His health failing him, 
he resigned his position, and went to farming for himself, later selling out 
his plantation and going to Madison, in search of a remedy to regain his 
health.  

Mr. Wimberly is survived by eight children, besides numerous relatives and 
friends.  The children are: G. L. Wimberly, L. G. Wimberly, O. J. Wimberly, V. 
O. Wimberly, Chas. Wimberly, Mrs. W. J. Ragan, Mrs. J. J. Willis and Miss Erie 
Wimberly.

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