The Henry County Weekly, June 1, 1928
MR. W. W. GEORGE FALLS ON SLEEP
     Died, in our city, W. W. George, aged 80 years.
     Not for him to our tears! Rather let us crown his grave with garlands; few 
of us will live as long or as well.
     But he is gone! Another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of 
our old settlers, and a solitary woman in the sunset of life, and a lonely 
home, are left to attest how sadly they will miss him. It must be so, these 
tender human ties cannot be severed without a pang. Yet in such a death there 
is no cause for grief. His life work was done and well done. He had passed his 
80th birthday and wearied with life’s duties and cares, weary of suffering and 
waiting, he lay down to rest.
     “Tired! ah, yes! so tired dear,
I shall soundly sleep tonight.
With never a dream and never a fear.
To wake in the morning light.”
     There is no language at our command by which we can fittingly portray the 
sincerity of this man’s Christian character. Conscience guided every act. He 
was strictly honest in the service he rendered. In short he was not only a 
Christian, but he was an honorable gentleman, in the highest sense that term 
implies. To man, woman or child, saint or sinner, he always extended a cordial 
greeting that lent a ray of light to brighten their pathway in the journey of 
life. He commanded the respect of all sects and classes of people. We did not 
fully appreciate his true worth until after the thread of life was severed. But 
as we caught a glimpse of the snow white sail that bore him away to the distant 
shore, we awakened to the realization that a good and righteous man had been 
taken from our midst.
     The funeral services were held Sunday, 2 p. m. May 27th, Elder Dan 
Henderson officiating, after which all that was mortal was placed in our City 
of the Dead.
     He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Baylor Smith and Mrs. 
Walter Welch.
