The Verden News
April 21, 1922


Rev. Paul T. McWhorter, one of Oklahoma's pioneer ministers and for many 
years a resident of this city, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. 
Martinez at Anadarko, Friday April 14, age 72 years, two months and 8 
days. He leaves to mourn his departure, an aged wife, Mrs. Paul T. 
McWhorter of Anadarko, Okla., and five daughters, Mrs. Andre Martinez, 
Anadarko; Mrs. Wm. Lamb, Mrs. S. Hostick and Mrs. R. E. Wilson, all of 
Verden, and Mrs. Claud Barreck of California, besides many grandchildren 
and a host of friends who have known him for many years.

Rev. McWhorter came to Oklahoma as a missionery preacher several years 
ago and filled his station well. Next week we will publish a more 
complete memorial of this good and faithful man, from the pen of one who 
has known him as a friend and co-worker for many years.

His death came after a lingering illness and the end was as peaceful as 
if he had gone to sleep. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and this 
order had charge of the funeral. Rev. Mann, pastor of the M. E. church 
preached the funeral sermon Saturday afternoon and he was layed to rest 
in our silent city of the dead followed by a large concourse of 
relatives and friends.
