Stephens wend@bellsouth.net April 20, 2004, 10:49 am Cedartown Standard, Cedartown, GA., October 4, 1917 Mrs. Mollie Byers Whatley, Mrs. Mollie Whatley died suddenly at Alexandria, Va., where she was a beloved head of an orphanage, and her remains were sent here for interment, reaching the home of her niece, Mrs. M.M. Cornelius, Friday night. Funeral services were conducted Saturday morning at the First Baptist church by Rev. J.D. Larkins, assisted by Dr. C.K. Henderson. It was only a month ago that Mrs. Whatley was here visiting relatives and was happy in putting up fruit to take back to the little folks entrusted to her loving care. She was proud and happy, too, over the fact that her daughter, Hallie, is doing her part in the world’s work as a Red Cross nurse in France, and that a son Wilson, has enlisted in the army to serve his country. Her whole life has been spent in work for others, and like Dorcas, it may be said of her, ""he hath done what she could." As Mollie Byers she was born Aug. 16, 1855, at Danville, Ky., and forty-one years ago was united in marriage with Mr. O. B. Whatley, who passed away four years ago. Several years of young womanhood were spent here, and she had many relatives and friends here who deeply grieve for the loss of this excellent Christian lady.
