The Schley County News  Friday, May 24, 1912
HENRY WALTER SELLARS
The subject of this sketch, Bro. H. Walter Sellars, was born in Schley County, 
Ga., June 24th, 1878, and died at the residence of his father, J.H. Sellars, 
in the same county, January 1st, 1912.  He was married to Miss May Rainey, 
October 14th, 1900.  From this union two girls were born, who with the wife 
survive him.  In writing of his character we feel that it is not necessary to 
indulge in words of eulogy; for his life was in itself a splendid 
testimonial.  He was true to every trust of life.  Ever considerate of the 
comforts of his family or the needs of his friends.  He was from boyhood a 
member of the Methodist church, and was always thoughtful of its interests, 
true to its vows, and in daily life consistent without reproach.  Stricken 
with that dread disease, tuberculosis, his case was hopeless from the 
beginning, but he found comfort in his religious experience, and bore his 
sufferings with a fortitude and patience which gave evidence of his genuine 
spirituality.  As a business man, citizen, public official, neighbor, or 
friend he manifested such true worth and displayed such sterling qualities as 
to place him the peer of any in our midst, and to cause many hearts to be 
saddened at his untimely going away.  Brother Sellars became a member of 
Ellaville Lodge No. 208, Knights of Pythias in 1908 and ever manifested a 
genuine interest in everything partaining to its welfare; while in his daily 
life he fittingly exemplified the principles of the highest, purest type of 
Pythianism.  At his request the lodge which he loved so tenderly laid his body 
away with Pythian honors; the service being held from the Methodist church, at 
Ellaville, Ga.  Whereas we the officers and members of Ellaville Lodge No. 
208, Knights of Pythias, feel keenly the blow which has fallen upon us in the 
untimely going away of our brother, H. Walter Sellars, yet do we bow 
reverently to the mandate of Him who makes no mistakes, thereto.  Be it 
resolved 1, That this lodge has lost one of its most loyal and faithful 
members; one whose counsels were wise, whose bearing was knightly, and whose 
life was inspiring.  Resolved 2, That we tender to the stricken loved ones our 
sincerest condolences, that we assure them of the genuineness of our sympathy 
in this bereavement.  Resolved 3, That the resolutions be spread upon a page 
of the Minute book of this lodge.   Resolved 4, That the resolutions be 
published in the Schley County News.
