Lastinger as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 7 June 1929. Camilla, Georgia. Numerous relatives and friends in the community were saddened by the sudden death of Mr. W. U. Lastinger, which occurred Sunday, 2 Jun 1929, morning at 10:00 AM at his home near Camilla. Although Mr. Lastinger had been in ill health for some time, the seriousness of his condition was not realized and his death, following an attack that lasted only a few hours, was a serious shock to his family and friends. Mr. Lastinger was living on the O. P. Sapp place, having moved there from Chastain, Ga., some time ago. The body was carried back to Chastain for burial. The funeral services were held in the church at that place Monday, 3 Jun 1929, morning at 11:00 AM, attended by a large gathering of relatives and friends. Rev Alligood was in charge of the services. The pallbearers were his three eldest sons, Messrs. Masten, Preston and Travis and his nephews, Alfred, Ambrose and Leland Lastinger. The deceased was fifty-seven years of age and was born and reared in this county. He was married to Miss Maggie Simpson, 19 March 1905, who survives him with their nine children, Mrs. Richard Golden of Ochlochnee, Masten, Preston, Travis, Troy, Eulie, Ouida, Elvie and Andrew Lastinger. Besides his widow and children, he leaves two sisters, Mrs. J. K. Johnson of Perry, Fla., and Mrs. Jeff Griner of Meigs, and one brother, Mr. E. P. Lastinger of Camilla. There are also a number of near relatives and close friends who are deeply saddened by his untimely death. The sincere sympathy of friends throughout the county is extended to the bereaved family in this sad hour.
