Obituary for William Jefferson Horton
"The Newnan Herald"
Friday, February 10, 1933 issue, page 1


Mr. W. J. Horton Passes Early Saturday at Senoia
(Special Senoia Correspondence)


Again the Angel of Death visited in our midst on
Saturday morning and carried away the soul of Mr.
William Jefferson Horton, leaving sad hearts crushed
by the unexpected blow.


Mr. Horton has been in poor health for many years but
recently had seemed to be improved.  He retired at
the usual hour Saturday night but called Mrs. Horton
later.  She arose and ministered to his needs.  She
thought he was getting easier when Death came and
called him to the Great Beyond.


Mr. Horton was born near Williamson in Pike county on
Feb. 25, 1870 the son of P. T. and Amelia Cook
Horton.  He was married to Alice Nixon on May 4,
1893.  He had been a citizen of Senoia since August
1905.  A kind, loving father and a devoted husband,
and industrious citizen and consecrated friend, he
left sorrow in the lives of his loved ones.


Funeral services were conducted at the residence
Sunday afternoon at two o'clock by Rev. J. B. Gresham
and interment was in the city cemetery.


Surviving him are his wife and two children Miss
Mozelle Horton, of Atlanta, and Mr. Paul Horton, of
Montgomery, Ala., and three grandchildren.
