Danielsville Monitor,  15 Apr 1938   
Funeral of Mr. Whitehead Held Last Sunday

   Mr. George W. Whitehead, aged 62, prominent citizen of Comer died at his 
home Friday morning following an illness of several weeks though he had been 
confined to his bed only a few days.
   Funeral services were held from Comer Baptist Church Sunday afternoon at 
two o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. B. Brown, of Clayton his former pastor, Rev. 
W. T. Calloway of the Baptist Church and Rev. Y. A. Bailey, of the Methodist 
Church.  Interment was in Comer cemetery, with Bernstein Bros. in charge of 
arrangements.
   As unusually large concourse of relatives and friends were present to pay 
their last tribute of admiration, love and respect to Mr. Whitehead.  Rev. 
Brown paid a glowing tribute, choosing as his text the passage from 
Proverbs: "A Friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for 
adversity."  Not once in his ten years ministry in Comer, Mr. Brown said, had 
he cause to doubt Mr. Whitehead's friendship, and he cited his example as 
worthy of emulation.
   The passing of Mr. Whitehead removes from Comer one of its best known 
figures.  He was a member of the Baptist Church, a Mason and Shriner, and 
prominent in all business and social activities of the town.  His death is 
deeply deplored by his hosts of friends throughout this section.
   Many handsome floral offerings were placed about the casket and grave 
Sunday at the funeral.  The pallbearers were:  Messers. Ed Wier, A.M. Wilkins, 
Reuben Martin; Joe Whitehead, Frank Martin; C. L. Adair, Willis Birchmore and 
Dr. Clodfelter.
   Surviving Mr. Whitehead are: the widow, Mrs. Minnie Meadow Whitehead; one 
son, Mr. Hiram Whitehead; two sisters, Mrs. Walter Martin of Carlton and Mrs. 
Carl Stevens of Atlanta; and one brother, Hon. W. E. Whitehead of Carlton.
