Columbus Enquirer June 6, 1924
Mrs. Mary A. Whitley
Midland, GA. June 11-

Mrs. Mary Adline Whitley, wife of Mr.  W. F. Whitley,
died at her home here at 7 o'clock Friday morning,
the 6th instant, following a serious illness of only
a few days, but her health had been quite feeble for
many months. She was born in Fayette County, Georgia
on the third day of February, 1857, and was more than
67 years of age. Mrs. Whitley joined the Baptist
church when a young woman and her membership was at
Bethel, near this place. Besides her husband, she is
survived by the following sons and daughters: John
Whitley of Ellerslie; J. T. Whitley and S. W. Whitley
of Midland; Edgar Whitley of LaGrange; J. L. Whitley
of Columbus; Mrs. Willie Matthews of Taylor county;
Mrs. Otis Moore of Columbus; and Miss Orvie (Arrie)
Whitley, of Midland. Besides these there have been
forty-five grandchildren and thirteen great-
grandchildren. The funeral was held at her late home
at 2 o'clock Saturday and was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. R. M. Stephens of Newnan, assisted by
Rev. A. A. Waits of this place. A large number of
relatives and friends of the deceased attended the
funeral and the interment was at the Russell
cemetery.

The following grandsons acted as pallbearers: Jamie
Whitley, Robert Whitley, Roy Matthews, Lester
Whitley, Tillman Whitley and Charley Story.

(Note: Charley Storey was actually the husband of
Mary's granddaughter. BD conflicts with the birthdate
on her marker of May 28, 1858 and the 1900 census
which said August 1853. Her death certificate said
born 1857 in Pike County, GA,  Mary Adeline Quick)
