Mr. Whit McCrary Passes Into The Great Beyond

Mr. J. Whit McCrary died on Wednesday morning, the 26th.  Mr. McCrary was born 
a mile north of Geneva, Ga., in Talbot County, on Jan. 19th 1853, and was at 
the time of his death, 58 years, 3 months and 25 days old.  In 1883, July 4th, 
he was united in marriage to Miss Kate Stokes.

Mr. McCrary was in business in Butler, Ga. for a number of years, coming from 
Butler to Buena Vista about 15 years ago; since which time he has been one of 
Buena Vista’s most prominent merchants and businessmen.  He accumulated some 
wealth and his estate embraces some of the finest farms and lands in Marion and 
adjoining counties, as well as some of the most valuable business properties in 
Buena Vista.

Mr. McCrary united with the Baptist church when Ernest Willie Upshaw protracted 
a meeting here for the pastor, Rev. Taylor several years ago, and has been one 
of their most prominent and faithful workers since.

The funeral service was conducted in the Baptist church by Rev. L.T. Reed 
Thursday morning at 10 o’clock and he was laid to rest in the Baptist cemetery.

As a successful businessman, Mr. McCrary was very prominent and will be greatly 
missed.

The sympathy of everyone is extended to the bereaved wife and relatives. –
