Funeral Services For Mrs. A. Stokes' Father on Sunday

Dr. George A. McIlhenny Dies Following Brief Illness

Dr. George A. McIlhenny, father of Mrs. Alwin Stokes, died at Morton, Miss.,
last Saturday following a brief illness.  Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at Forest, Miss., at two o'clock, which were attended by Rev. Alwin
Stokes, Mrs. Stokes on account of illness having to remain at home.

Dr. McIlhenny has visited Winnfield frequently and his many friends here will
mourn his passing.

Dr. McIlhenny was a dentist by profession and was active in the religious and
civic life of his community and state.  He was an officer in the Presbyterian
Church where he held membership and served several terms in the Mississippi
state legislature.  Among his lifelong ambitions and which he advocated and
worked for was the establishing of a hospital school for crippled children. 
He never realized his dream but perhaps his planting the seed idea that it
will some day be realized.

He was preceded in death by his wife several years ago.  Close relatives
surviving him are three children, two sons, George N. McIlhenny, Oliver
McIlhenny of Forrest, Miss., and Mrs. Alwin Stokes of Winnfield.
