The Monroe Advertiser (Forsyth, GA), 8 September 1905
Death of Mr. Thurmond
     Mr. W. H. Thurmond, one of Monroe county's old pioneer citizenes, died at 
his home near the city Monday at the advanced age of eighty-three.
     He had been in ill-health for some time and his death was not 
unexpected.  Around his bedside as he passed into eternity, were gathered 
seventeen children, who as they watched the death shadow steal over his loved 
and venerable face, could testify to his nobility as a father.  He was the 
father of twenty children, eighteen of whom survive him.
     He was a public-spirited man of broad and noble character, highly 
respected by all, and his death is deeply regretted.
     He was a member of the Methodist church.  The funeral service was 
conducted at his residence by Rev. J. B. Holland, Tuesday evening.  To the 
bereaved we extend sympathy.
