The Cairo Messenger, Friday, October 18, 1918
Hon. W. J. Willie Has Passed Away

Judge Wallace J. Willie is no more.  He died at his home here Tuesday evening 
about seven o'clock after a short illness of influenza, followed by pneumonia.  
He had been sick only eight days.  This was a great shock to his wife and 
daughter and the entire community.  The funeral services were held at the 
Methodist church at eleven o'clock Thursday morning.  Rev. J. G. Christian 
preached the funeral.  He was assisted by Rev. H. W. Head, Rev. W. C. Jones, 
and Rev. J. B. Wight.  He was laid to rest in the local cemetery.

Judge Willie was 39 years of age and was a native of Monticello, Fla., he and 
his wife and daughter moved here from Metter, Ga. about 12 years ago and have 
since made Cairo their home.  He was a man of strong intellect and character.  
A man who occupied positions of leadership.  At the time of his death he was 
Judge of the City Courts of Cairo and Whigham.  He was a member of the 
Methodist church and held the office as a steward for several years.  In his 
busy life he always found time to keep the Sabbath holy and attend worship.  
Love ruled in his home and smoothed all the rough places, lightening its 
sorrows and increasing its joys.  His widow and one daughter, of sixteen years, 
besides his mother, five brothers and six sisters, survive him.

May God's love and deep spiritual blessing fall on the wife and daughter and 
comfort their hearts in this sad hour.
