Dr. M. M. Minter Passes Away

Dr.  Milton  McLendon  Minter   Died
at   his   home  i n   Donalsonville
12:10  A. M.  October  6t h.,  after
lingering illness, thus taking  from
our midst one of the best loved  and
most  highly  respected  citizens of
the  County.    He  was  73 years of 
age and  a native of this section of 
Georgia   who  spent  his  long  and
useful  life  among those  he  loved 
most and served best.
    Dr. Minter was the  mayor of the 
City of Donalsonville, President  of 
the  Commercial   State   Bank,  mem-
ber of the local school board, and a
leader in all  civic  movements look-
ing  to  the  advancement   and  bet-
terment of the city  and  community.
     In  1904  he  married  Miss Eva 
Funderburke  and   from  this  happy
union a spelendid family  sprung,  a
family  that  has proven  a blessing
to mankind and one  that  has proven
and (sic) inspiration in all spiritual and
social activities  of  the  city  and 
county.
    Dr. Minter  was  that  rare  type 
of  manhood   whose  personality  was
impressive at  site.   He  was   ever
ready with a kind  word  and a gregar-
ious  smile  for  everyone.   He  was
t h e   embodiment  of  honesty   and
straightforwardness  and  his   going 
away creates a  void  in  the life of 
our  city  and   county   which  will 
never be filled just as he filled his
station in life.  To say that he will
be missed is inadquate.
     Funeral rites were observed from
the   Methodist  Church   and  inter-
ment  at  the Donalsonville  Cemetery.
Rev.   M.   W.   Flanders   pastor  of 
the   Methodist   Church    officiated
assisted   by   Rev.  Whitt  Aiken  of 
the    Baptist   Church,   Rev.  Doyle 
Smith , of  the  Nazarene  Church  and
Rev.  G.  W.  Bates,  o f  Bainbridge,
Georgia.   M i s s   Ruth  Lansel   of
Asbury  College,  rendered  two  beau-
tiful   songs   accompanied  b y  Mrs. 
L. Roberts at the Piano.
      Pallbearers   were  R. M. Holman
R.  E.  Wheeler,   B.  B.  Clarke,  A. 
H a y,   Paul  Shingler,  C. C. Thomas
Henry     V a n    Landingham     and
E. E.  Mosely.   Surviving  is the de-
voted  wife,   M r s.   E v a   Minter, 
five  children:  M r s.  D.  F.  Wurst,
Mrs.  Lydia   Driskell,  M.  M. Minter,
J r.,  Miss   Frances   Adelle  Minter
and William Harris Minter.
       And  so, after the  sunset, our
beloved friend  a n d  f ellow-citizen 
passed   on  into  a  realm of eternal
light,  that  realm  just   over   the 
clouds  where  G o d  walks.    Tender 
sympathies  from  the   entire  county
go out to the bereaved family.
