The Walton Tribune, Monroe, Georgia, Wednesday, July 1, 1953

Verney E. Bentley died suddenly at Loganville Home.

Verney Elmer Bentley, Sr., 69, of Loganville, one of Walton County’s best know 
and most highly respected citizen, passed away at his home in Loganville early 
Monday morning from a sudden heart attack. He awoke for the day in an 
unusually cheerful frame of mind, according to members of the family, and 
passed away suddenly while putting on his clothes. Funeral services were 
schedule to occur Wednesday afternoon from Bay Creek Baptist Church with Rev. 
E. N. Anthony officiating. Interment was set for Bay Creek Cemetery with the 
E. L. Almond Co. in charge of funeral arrangements. Mr. Bentley was a 
prominent Walton County figure for many years. He was a retired farmer, and 
was also well know in civic and political circles. For 30 years he served as 
Justice of Peace from Buncombe District and was of the Walton County 
Democratic Executive Committee and was the local Registrar of Vital Statistic. 
Perhaps best known of Mr. Bentley activities was his tireless efforts in 
promoting the session to the 12 County Signing Convention, of which is a past 
president. Mr. Bentley had countless friends and never knew a man whom he 
called stranger. His pleasant, friendly manner and his soft spoken address won 
him wide respect and admiration in many contacts of his personal and public 
live. He was a native resident of Walton County and lived in Loganville for 
the past 10 years. In his own community and throughout this section he will be 
genuinely missed. In addition to his wife, Mrs. Ludie Brooks Bentley, he is 
survived by 8 children as follows; Mrs. Trummie B. Green of Atlanta, Mrs. 
Vassie B. Anthony of Atlanta, Mrs. Frances Singleton of Houston, Texas, Mrs. 
Nina Barton of Smyrna, Mrs. Julia Bright of L.A. California, Mrs. Alice Palmer 
of Charleston, S.C., Hurts Bentley of Atlanta, Verney Bentley, Jr. of Atlanta. 
He is survived by eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. To the members 
of the family, The Walton Tribune joins wide circle in extending tender 
sympathy.
