Mrs. Musselwhite Crosses The Mystic Stream

Death of Highly Esteemed Lady Came as Great Shock To Her Relatives and Friends

A wave of keenest regret spread over this city and the county generally when it
was announced that Mrs. Jesse Musselwhite, wife of Mr. W.M. Musselwhite, of
Reynolds, was dead.  The end came Friday afternoon at 2:20 o’clock after much
suffering for several days with pneumonia.  While her numerous relatives and
friends realized the seriousness of her illness it was not expected that she
would succumb so early.  Her death came as a great shock to the entire
community, and the members of the family have the sympathy of all in their hour
of sorrow.  Her funeral was held at her home Saturday morning at 11 o’clock,
conducted by Rev. H.O. Fowler, interment of the remains was made at the Reynolds
cemetery.  The floral offerings were beautiful and were among many other
evidences of the esteem in which she was held.

Mrs. Musselwhite became a member of the Methodist church in early life and
remained a faithful, consistent member thereof until her death.  She was
abundantly endowed with those feminine characteristics of loyalty, love and
devotion that constitute the model wife, mother and Christian, and her whole
life was devoted to loving service to her family.

She was about 45 years of age.

Previous to her marriage Mrs. Musselwhite was Miss Jessie Adams, and the
daughter of the late Capt. and Mrs. James A. Adams of Reynolds.  Twelve children
whose ages are from 6 to 26 years survive this splendid Christian lady as does a
devoted husband, two brothers, Messrs. J.A. Adams, of Montgomery, Ala., and V.J.
Adams, of Memphis, Tenn. And one sister, Mrs. Mintie Pope, of Butler.
