Danielsville Monitor, 12 October 1945
IN MEMORY OF MRS. J. B. McWHIRTER

   A voice we loved is silent.  A warm heart beats no more, a beloved friend 
has departed.  Death claimed one of our most faithful member, Mrs. J. B. 
McWhirter, who passed away at the home of one of her daughters in Atlanta, 
July 2, 1945, after a long illness.  A loving God whom she served well guided 
her through the morning and noontide of life and she was well within the 
shadows of evening when the summons came.  her life so calm and serene was 
lived with thought and deeds for others.  Her active days found her attentive 
to the needs of her home and family and she gave generous service to her 
church and all it stood for.  She was one of five who were charter members of 
this organization when it was organized in November 1905.  It was then called 
the Woman's Missionary Society.  Faithful, Trustful, she bore the attitude of 
the Psalmist where he said--

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still 
waters.
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his 
name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no 
evil; For though art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me,
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou 
anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will 
dwell in the house of the     Lord forever.

   We are glad to join others in paying tribute to her memory therefore, Be it 
resolved that her life ever be a pattern and example to the members who 
undertake to carry on: that the work she has done to inspire us to greater 
undertakings.
   Further be it resolved; that we extend her family our love and sympathy; 
that a copy of these resolutions be spread on our minutes, and a copy be sent 
the family and one to the local newspaper.
