Mrs. Roberta Weatherford
   After a series of dangerous operations, apparently successfully withstood, 
and giving hopeful promise of eventual convalescence, a sudden turn for the 
worse carried Mrs. Roberta Weatherford, wife of Mr. Dave Weatherford, from 
earth to the better land at 2:50 o'clock last Sunday afternoon at an Athens 
hospital.
   Funeral services were held at Mars Hill Monday afternoon, at 3:300, 
conducted by Rev. John H. Wood, of Winder, assisted by Rev. B.P. Read of Young 
Harris Memorial church, Athens.  Interment followed in Mars Hill cemetery, the 
following near-relatives acting as pallbearers: J.G. Weatherford, J.A. 
Weatherford, F.L. Weatherford, J.T. Dawson, R.C. Dawson and I.E. Thornton.
   Surviving are the husband, three sons, Elmer, Eldridge and Edgar 
Weatherford; three sisters, Mrs. W.J. Norris, Bogart; Mrs. Fletcher Mathews, 
Athens; Mrs. Hoyt Brant, Berkeley, and the following brothers: J.T. Dawson, 
Barnesville; R.C. and W.C. Dawson, Watkinsville; I.E. Thornton, Athens, and 
Harry Thornton, Hawkinsville.
   Mrs. Weatherford had only been seriously ill for just a few short weeks and 
received the aid of the best medical skill and expert attention but all in 
vain, for the Master had need of her in yonder world and beckoned her hence to 
take up eternal abode in the home not made with hands.
   The deceased was a good Christian woman, faithful wife and devoted mother, 
and the desolate home bereft of her loving attention is now well-nigh 
unbearable and the inscrutable wisdom of Providence is past human 
understanding; therefore, time alone will reveal His purpose and, some day, 
around the Great White Throne in gloryland, faithful husband and loving 
children will again be taken to her heart, if only they will follow in mother's 
footsteps.
   Our heart in tender sympathy is with those now inconsolable.
