Obituary of Rev. J. W. Daniels 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 9 Apr 1920.  


There was a general sorrow throughout this section of the county Wednesday, at 
the news of the death of Rev. J. W. Daniels, long a beloved minister of the Baptist 
church, who passed away at the home of Mr. Lee Sanders on Tuesday, 6 Apr 1920 at 
4:30 PM.  Funeral services were held at Mt. Zion church Wednesday, 7 Apr 1920 at 4:30 
PM.  The services were conducted by Rev H. N. Burnett, with the assistance of Rev H. B. 
Woodward and Rev S. O. Thomas.  After tributes had been paid to the life and services of 
the departed by his fellow laborers, the body was turned over to the Masons, who laid it 
to rest with the rites of the order.  A large number of relatives and friends followed the 
body to its last resting place and paid their respects to the memory of the deceased.  Rev 
Daniels was born in Richmond county, near Augusta, sixty-one years ago.  He moved 
later to Lowndes county, near Valdosta, and lived there until he moved to Mitchell 
county thirty-five years ago and since that time he has cast his lot with the people of this 
county.  The deceased was a minister of the Baptist church and given twenty or twenty-
five years to the preaching of the gospel in his church.  He had in his days of usefulness 
done a wonderful work for the cause of Christianity and the spread of the gospel.  Among 
the visible work that he accomplished, was the organization of several Baptist Churches.  
The deceased is survived by his wife, who is a sister [actually a sister-in-law] of Mr. 
Wyatt Adams of this city.  He leaves also a brother and a half brother, both of 
Thomasville, besides a large number of near relatives and numberless friends who knew 
and loved him in life and who are grieved at his departure from our midst.  The bereaved 
wife has the sincere sympathy of her many friends throughout the county.
