David C. Whitten, Jr. submitted by Mrs. Jo Anne Norwood Obituary pasted to the fly pages of the David Clay Whitten Bible. Publication not given.	David C. Whitten, Jr., my youngest brother, was born in Wayne county, Tenn. if I am not mistaken, March 8, 1864, and died there, May 21, 1879. Surely the truth of the expression “Death loves a shining mark,” was seen in his case. He was converted at nine years of age, and immediately joined the Methodist Church. His life was short, but a happy one. He was always a good child, and after his profession of religion he was indeed a model boy. He was obedient to his parents — did that they bade him with as much cheerfulness as any one could. Their wish was his pleasure. His sickness was of short duration, and he died an easy death. He was very judicious in the selection of his companions, it being a maxim of his, that it is better to keep good company, or else keep none. Few boys of his age ever had more friends among both the aged and the young, for he won all hearts to him. His temper was always even — nothing seemed to fret or worry him, for his religion enabled him to walk uprightly before his God. His history may be summed up in few words. As a son, he was dutiful; as a brother, good and kind; as a student, attentive to his studies; as a playmate, gently and living; as a boy, a model; and as a Christian, pious and devoted to the Church. A letter from his father , bearing date of the day he died, says: “My son, David, your youngest, sweet little brother, died this morning. To me it is the saddest day of my life. I feel that my staff and stay for my declining years is broke. The family take his death very hard. He died easily and in a few minutes. He was the most patient person in sickness I ever saw; complained of nothing but pain; took everything given him kindly … It is common for people to say, when they lose a child, “That was the best one.” I can say, from the depth of my heart, he was the sweetest-spirited child I have reared. My wish was his will. He rarely fretted — was nearly always in a good humor, and was never too tired to wait on me. He was strictly pious. I never knew of his doing an immoral deed in all his life. His ma said to him the day before he died, ‘Son, would you be afraid to die?’ His response was prompt, heroic and decided, ‘No, ma, I should not.’ ” Thus died one too pure and good for earth. He was the first one of our immediate family to died. Truly God has been good to us. My father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters – all the family – are religious, and my sincere prayer is that we may meet at last in that clime where death is an eternal stranger. L. F. Whitten, Munford, Ala, May 28, 1879.
Boone W. Whitten Submitted by Mrs. Jo Anne Norwood Obituary pasted to the fly pages of the David Clay Whitten Bible. Publication not given.	My Dear Brother, Boone W. Whitten, was born in Wayne county, Tennessee, September 8th, 1860. Was born of the Spirit, September, 7th, 1873, which was his thirteenth birthday. Of the genuineness of his conversion he was never in doubt. Of the wisdom he manifested in joining the Church at an early age, there can be no question. He was a Christian boy, of choice and pious from principle. It seems hard to give up one who was so promising, so pure; but we must bow in submission to the will of the Lord. Just before his death he prayed, “Father, they will be done, not mine.” He was living at my house, teaching school; had been for five months, and I know whereof I affirm, when I say he was one of the purest, steadiest young men I ever met. He had built up a fine school in this community, and in the school room, every morning, asked God to bless his pupils in their studies, and him in teaching them. he was engaged, mind, soul and body in his profession. He taught by example and precept; was studious at home, carrying on his course of study which he had pursued in college. While he instructed the minds of his pupils, he looked closely after their morals, and when dying said: “Tell my pupils to remember the good advice I gave them in the schoolroom, and be good boys and girls and meet me in heaven.” In 1881 he attended the State Normal School, at Florence, Ala. where he was loved by his fellow pupils, President and Professors. President S. P. Rice is said to have remarked when he left college: “If all my boys had been as studious as Boone Whitten, it would have been a paradise on earth.” But as a Christian he was nearer perfect. He prayed fervent, trustful prayers around out fireside that he might grow in grace and get to be nearer like Jesus. He studied his Bible every day, and frequently called my attention to certain portions of the Scriptures which were more precious, unto him than jewels. his fixedness of purpose to serve God was unalterable. He would have died rather than do wrong, or bring reproach on the precious Savior. When he came to died, April 21st, I said to him: “Brother, is your faith still strong?” He replied, “Yes, sir, I know that Jesus will save me.” He called all around him and bade them farewell, telling them to meet him in heaven, and sent loving messages to his parents, brother and sisters. During a prayer offered by Brother Andrew Jackson, he said: “Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee,” and repeated it. He gave minute instructions relative to the distribution of his effects, and requested to be carried back to Tennessee and buried by the side of our brother, David, who died three years since. I carried him back, read the burial service in the presence of hundreds of his friends, and buried his body in hope of glorious resurrection. L. F. Whitten, Easta Boga, Ala., April 28, 1882.
David Clay Whitten Submitted by Mrs. Jo Anne Norwood Obituary pasted to the fly pages of the David Clay Whitten Bible. Publication not given.	The subject of this sketch was born in Lauderdale County, near Florence, Ala., July 27, 1823. His long and useful life was spent in Wayne County, Tenn., and nearly entirely so in the same community. He was honored and respected by all who knew him. He never was defeated but once before the people for any office for which he asked at the ballots of his fellow-citizens, and he always believed that it was a benign providence that defeated him in that contest for public preferment. While it was not until 1865 that he was converted and joined the Church, yet from my earliest recollection his home was the itinerant preacher’s home. No preacher ever felt long at a time that he was a guest, but a feeling that he was an inmate of the home would unconsciously steal over not only the preacher, but all whose fortune it was to share his hospitality. Many a Tennessee Conference preacher has shared this grace at his hands and that of his well-ordered household. His bereaved and sorrow-stricken wife, who is truly bereft, and who from her girlhood had feared God and worked righteousness, was his strong stay for more than forty-one years. I never knew a better woman than she. I remember that during the cruel war between the States, when sin of every form held high carnival, she never faltered for a moment in her faith and loyalty to God and his cause. No wonder that out of such a family should be born two itinerant Methodist preachers. Rev. O. B. Whitten, the younger, was one of the most popular young preachers ever in the Memphis Conference. His career was short – only a little more than three years – yet impressing himself upon all who knew him. Rev. L. F. Whitten, of La Fayette, has been a faithful member of that Conference since its organization in 1870. I doubt if any man in that Conference has made a better record for devotion to the cause of Christ, the interest of Methodism and humanity, during these years than he. David Clay Whitten died in peace with God and in hope of heaven Feb. 20, 1889, and was laid beside his three sons who had preceded him to heaven – to await the resurrection of the just. Truly, to that community, a great man in Israel is fallen, for he was a leader – a natural leader of the people. Especially was this true of him among the young people. He was a theologian of no mean pretensions. Biblical and Methodistic doctrines were questions of highest interest to him, and he took great pleasure in discussing them with men who had read and who thought. But he is gone — we shall see him no more. Peace to his memory, while we plead Heaven’s consoling benedictions upon his bereaved widow, son and two daughters, who mourn their loss. T. G. W., Moberly, Mo. March 1889. [note: T. G. W. was Rev. Thomas G. Whitten, son of Joel S. Whitten who was David Clay Whitten’s older brother.]
Mrs. John Y. Parker Obituary pasted in the front cover of the Mattie Brewer McCorkle Bible, McCorkle-Stafford Collection, Wayne County Historical Society	Mrs. John Y. Parker, 63, died Sunday night of acute indigestion at her home on Indian Creek. Burial took place Monday in the Mt. Hebron Cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. G. R. Wilkerson and N. C. Jeter. Mrs. Parker was a devoted member of the Christian Church. [Note: This is Eliza (Elizabeth) Lucinda Brewer, b. 1856/7, daughter of Hiram and Cazada Hayes Brewer. She married first to J. T. Lowery; second to Joseph Clayton Stribling; and third to John Y. Parker. Her death occurred before Jan, 20, 1920 since she does not appear in the 1920 census for Wayne County, TN. She does not have a tombstone in the Mt. Hebron Cemetery, although she is buried in the Parker plot. Obituary probably from “The Wayne Countian”.
Lt. John W. Stribling Obituary pasted in the front cover of the Mattie Brewer McCorkle Bible, McCorkle – Stafford Collection, Wayne County Historical Society	Stribling Is Laid To Rest, Funeral Services Held At Honolulu.

His wife, who was drowned at the same time, was buried there also. It is not known here today whether the body of Lieut. William F. Stevenson, aged 29, of Schofield Barracks, a native of South Carolina, who was drowned at the same time, has been found. A native of Florence, Lieut. Stribling, attended the city schools, graduating from Coffee High School here, and finishing at West Point Military Academy in 1929.

Lewis, died in Ashland, December 1st, 1882 of consumption and as little “Retta was a very delicate child, we never thought she would live to mature age. Teething and something like the flux was more than her little frame could bear. And then the angels came one night, And took her soul away; to live with them and God and light, And everlasting day.

Little Juanita Hassell Submitted by Don Meredith Source: Clifton Times Clifton, Tennessee Thursday, December 20, 1894 Vol. XXI No. 43 Page 3	Little Juanita Hassell At 11 o’clock last Monday morning little Juanita Hassell died after about 60 hours of untold suffering from an attack of the croop. Funeral Services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon and the burial took place in the Clifton cemetery. All the physicians in town were in attendance, and Dr. Buchanan of Waynesboro was called Friday night. At 12 o’clock, the only hope to save it was to perform tracheotomy, which means the insertion of a tube into the windpipe. Through this, the little sufferer breathed a living death until Monday at 11 o’clock. She was the idolized of her parents and the pet and pride of almost every one in Clifton. An interesting and intelligent child, far above the ordinary, with a disposition that was purity and innocence itself, it is not surprising that the universal sympathy in her death should touch the brinks of grief. There is not a person in Clifton who would not make any sacrifice to show these dear parents how deeply they deplore the death of their child, and who would not willingly help to bear the burden of this bereavement. Words and language fail the writer in expressing the depth and sincerity of the sympathy he feels for these parents whose numerous kindnesses have afforded him numberless pleasures and whose devotion to their only child has often been an object of his admiration. She is gone but not forgotten. The love that belongs to those children whom Divinity has taken to himself is a chord as strong as bands of steel that bind us to the hope of rest beyond this tide of tribulations, and a ladder by which we mount to the heights of His eternal promises.

Pennington Submitted by Don Meredith Source: The Wayne County News Friday, December 27, 1940 Page 1	PENNINGTON, FORMER RESIDENT HERE: DEAD Dies Following Injuries Received in Altercation with Bill Lawhead Charles F. Pennington, a former resident of Waynesboro, and well known here died in the U.S. Veteran’s Hospital in Memphis Monday morning where he had been taken for treatment for injuries received in an altercation near Hohenwald late last week. It is reported that the difficulty occurred at the farm of Mr. Pennington adjoining the Meriwether Lewis Park about six miles east of Hohenwald. One Bill Lawhead, of Indianapolis, Indiana, had been making his home with Pennington for some time following a disappointment in a business venture in Lewis County, and was at work for Mr. Pennington erecting a house when an argument arose over a settlement, resulting in the injuries causing his death. Mr. Pennington received his early education here, where he resided with his father, Robert Pennington, and members of his family until his early manhood. He entered the United States Railway mail service and was assigned from Jellico to Knoxville in East Tennessee. While laying over at Knoxville during the days he was on duty, he entered the University of Tennessee Law department, and graduated there some years ago. After the close of the World War in which Mr. Pennington volunteered his services, He opened a law office at Hohenwald, and was actively engaged in the practice of his profession there. He has appeared before the courts here on numerous occasions, and was widely known here where he has a number of relatives. During his service for his country he was assigned to the Transportation service and crossed the Atlantic Ocean several times with convoys. He entered the ranks as a private but was promoted to the rank of Major before the close of the war, and was holding that commission when he received his honorable discharge from service. Mr. Pennington is survived by one brother, George Pennington of Napier and one half brother of Old Hickory, also two sisters and one half sister, Mrs. Frank Scott, Ruppertown, Mrs. Mora Crews and Mrs. Jess Barber. He was buried at Napier, in Lewis County, near his boyhood home.
Rev. Daniel Judd Submitted by Steven Elder Source: “Christian Advocate” Nashville, TN 23 Aug 1860	Rev. Daniel Judd As announced in your columns, this good man has gone from labor to reward. He was a native of Pennsylvania, but emigrated to Tennessee while young. For a number of years he was a resident of Nashville, and died in Wayne county, Tenn., on the 11th of July 1860, in his 60th year. He was converted and united with the M.E. Church soon after he reached mature manhood, and in a short time thereafter began to preach the gospel. He exercised his gifts for thirty-four years as a local minister, and was faithful and useful in his holy calling. He was a man of good natural mind and respectable acquirements in his knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. His life was consistent. He maintained a good reputation, and exercised an influence favorable to the cause of Christianity. His last sickness was protracted, but sanctified to his good. As he approached the grave, his soul repined for the joys of the “better land.” Few men ever met death with a firmer trust in the merits of Christ than did Brother Judd. Indeed his victory was complete. He talked of death with perfect calmness: and of his hope beyond the grave with full assurance. His exhortations to wife, children and friends were fraught with wisdom, and his last hours full of comfort. He died like a Christian; in full possession of his mental faculties, he bade adieu to earth, “And died, his father’s God to meet” Daniel Judd will long live in memory and afflictions of his friends; and will doubtless live in heaven for ever. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” J.B. McFerrin

She was one of a family of ten children, viz. Henry, James A., Osburn H., Mary, Martha, William, Amanda E., Narcissie Catherine and Fannie West. All are deceased. Mrs. Murrie departed this life at her home, southeast of Vienna, ILL., June 25, 1939, at the ripe old age of 94 years and 23 days.On February 18, 1874, she was united in marriage to Jefferson Monroe Murrie and to this union seven children were born, Fleetie and Freddie having preceded her in death. In September, 1896 the home was again bereft, this time taking the husband and father, leaving Aunt Emily with the responsibility of the home and rearing of her family, which responsibility she assumed with such Christian fortitude that her children and those who came in contact with her can rise up to call her blessed. It can be truly said of her that her doors were open to widows and orphans and those less fortunate than she, and her advice and counsel will long be remembered by those as the same motherly advice as given her own children. Even the passerby received as hearty a welcome from Aunt Emily as those nearest her.Her alertness, activity and keen mind kept her young despite the years which continued to roll on.She professed faith in Christ as her Saviour some 65 years ago. She was not only a Christian, but one of God’s noble women, serving rather than being served, proving her faith and sincerity in the Lord by her good works; visiting the sick or those in distress, all will stand as a living monument to her memory, yet living that quiet, unpretentious, unassuming life that spoke volumes.Aunt Emily never united with any church, yet she made the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Concord her spiritual home.Those surviving to mourn her passing are the following sons and daughters: Mrs. Ida Lay, Simpson; C. W. and Harry Murrie, Vienna: Newton J. and Walter Murrie of Simpson. Also surviving are twenty-four grandchildren, fifteen great grandchilden, a host of nieces and nephews. “I cannot say, I will not say, that she is dead, she’s just away.” (Her Death Certificate records that the doctor attended her from 6-18-1939 to 6-25-1939. Cause of death: cerebral hemorrhage which began on June 18, 1939. Other contributory causes: arteriole sclerosis.)

William Andrew Shepard Submitted by Mrs. Grace Wright Carver Newspaper clipping No newspaper name Date on clipping: 25 Oct 1915	Valuable Citizen Called Mr. W. A. Shepard Answers the Final Summons. A Progressive and Good Man The whole community was distressed when the news spread abroad Monday morning that Mr. William Andrew Shepard has passed away at his home on Walnut street from an attack of heart trouble. Although he had not enjoyed the best of health for the past year, Mr. Shepard had been confined to his home for only a few days; and the report of his death came as a chock to the people, who had learned to respect him as a conscientious, able and progressive citizen, a good and generous man, public spirited and earnest in the upbuilding of the community. Mr. Shepard was a native of this section, having been born and raised near Cypress Inn, Tennessee, on the county line, and where he accumulated a goodly share of the possessions of this world, before moving to Florence several years ago. After becoming a citizen of Florence, he gradually took his place as one of the best and most valuable men here. A man of means, public spirited to the fullest, he was a great upbuilder for Florence; the type of man who is worth a great deal to the community and the public. He was a member of the Church of Christ and of the Masonic Lodge, and prominent in all civic affairs. He is survived by his widow, and three daughters, Misses Mary, Annie and Gladys. The funeral services were held at the family residence on Tuesday morning at ten o’clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Isaac C. Hoskins, after which interment took place in the city cemetery. As mark of respect to him, and in appreciation of many qualities he had embodied in his citizenship of Florence, the stores closed during the hour of the funeral services, and the business men of the city paid tribute to him at his grave.
Annie Lawson Submitted by Mrs. Grace Wright Carver No date or name of newspaper on clipping. Probably The Florence Times	Cypress Inn Editor Times – The death angel visited our midst October 28, 1914, and claimed for its victim little Annie Lawson, aged seven years, four months and 28 days. She was such a sweet and lovable little girl, and was the pet and favorite of all her relations. Being only seven years of age, she was in the third grade of her school work, and during her illness she would say she wanted to get well and go back to school. But the Lord saw fit to call her home to be with her father, Andrew Lawson, who preceded her to the grave a little more than three years ago. Her many friends attended her bedside and did all they could for her, but to no avail. Her mother, Mrs. Minnie Lawson and her little sister, Emily, were both in bed with typhoid fever when she died, and “Little Annie” had been sick with whooping cough and typhoid fever for more than two months. She was laid to rest by her father at the Austin cemetery the 29^th, in the presence of a host of relatives and friends. It seems sad to think we shall never hear her dear voice and see her pleasant face any more in this world. But the Lord knew best, and we can only strive to live so when we are called away we can meet her beyond the pearly gates; for Jesus said, “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” There was a band in heaven That was not quite complete; So God called little Annie To fill the vacant seat. One Who Loved Her.

He had been sick only a week, and the doctors and friends did all they could, but to no avail. The Lord called him to heaven, where there is no sickness, pain or death. It seemed so sad to see the “twin brothers” parted. They were so devoted to each other. Where you saw one, just there too, was the other. But now Culus has gone and left us and is beckoning to father, mother and little brother to come to him beyond the pearly gates. Culus was laid to rest in the Mt. Hope cemetery, after funeral services conducted by Rev. Wilkerson of Waynesboro, Tenn., in the presence of a host of relatives and friends. A Friend.

McClanahan received word last week of the death of his brother John, who was residing in Everett, Washington. He was a former Wayne Countian and left here a number of years ago. The Everett News said relative to his death: John Craig McClanahan, for several years instructor in the commercial department of the Everett high school and later instructor in a local business college, lost his light through inhalation of carbon monoxide gas as he was adjusting a wheel on his automobile Sunday morning. The tragedy occurred in a garage at Marysville, adjoining a residence he had purchased a few days ago. Mr. McClanahan, with his wife and daughter, Bonita, 14, a student in North Junior high, had been living at the Olympic Apartments, 2325 Colby avenue. The family planned to move to their Marysville home yesterday. Mr. McClanahan had been going to Marysville to spend the nights there. It was his intention to come to Everett Sunday morning to attend church. When he failed to appear at the expected time and a telephone call to Marysville brought no response, Mrs. McClanahan, accompanied by Mrs. Edgar Johnson, motored over to learn what had detained him, Reaching Marysville they found Mr. McClanahan’s car in the garage entrance, part of it in the open air and the rear of the machine in the building. At the rear of the car they found Mr. McClanahan lying on the floor unconscious, but apparently still alive. A physician was summoned and a call sent to Everett fire department for a lungmotor. All efforts to revive him failed. The engine of the car was running and tolls on the floor indicated he had attempted to make some hasty adjustment after getting ready to start for Everett. While doing so he had breathed the deadly gas. Mr. McClanahan was born on a farm near Iron City, Tennessee, October 8, 1881. Following a course in the public schools, he went to Bowling Green , Kentucky, and was graduated from commercial college there and later from a commercial college in Chicago.

Willis E. McClanahan Submitted by Mrs. Grace Wright Carver no date or name of newspaper on clipping [probably Florence Times, Florence, AL]	TIRED OF LIVING Mr. Willis E. McClanahan Voluntarily Takes His Life On Tuesday morning last the sad intelligence rapidly spread through our city that Mr. Willis E. McClanahan had committed suicide . Tired of living, “a physical wreck,” as he himself had written, he took chloroform in the early part of the day, and in a few hours he had passed to the great beyond. Mr. McClanahan was a native of Wayne County, Tenn., and had been a school teacher for many years. He left that occupation several months ago and came to Florence, where he was agent for the sale of a patent smoothing iron and kept a clothes-pressing business, his location being in the small room on Court stret near the corner of Tuscaloosa street. He occupied a room in the rear of his place of business and took his meals at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bosley on Seminary street. He appeared at his boarding house between 8 and 9 o’clock, and soon after his arrival he appeared in a dazed condition. His condition becoming alarming, Dr. Lindsey was summoned, but when he arrived the case was beyond remedy, and he died about 10 o’clock. In his vest pocket was found a piece of paper on which was written the words, “a physical wreck.” No satisfactory clue is given as the cause of the rash act, excepting what was contained in these few words. Under the direction of Mr. W. A. Shepard, for many years an intimate friend of the family, the body was sent Tuesday afternoon to the old homestead near Bethel Grove, Tenn. where the sad news had previously been sent. Mr. McClanahan has always borne a most excellent reputation. Those who know him well agree that his character was above reproach. he was about 35 years of age and leaves three brothers and two sisters. In this connection, is is recalled that his father Mr. Thomas McClanahan, some five or six years ago, also committed suicide by hanging himself at his home near Bethel Grove.

At 11 o’clock last Monday evening little Juanita HASSELL died after about 60 hours of untold suffering from an attack of the croup. Funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday afternoon and the burial took place in the Clifton cemetery. All the physicians in town were in attendance, and Dr. BUCHANAN of Waynesboro was called Friday night. At 12 o’clock the only hope to save it was to perform tracheotomy, which means the insertion of a tube into the windpipe. Through this the little sufferer breathed a living death until Monday at 11 o’clock. She was the idolized of her parents and the pet and pride of almost every one in Cliston [sic]. An interesting and intelligent child, far above the ordinary, with a disposition that was purity and innocence itself, it is not surprising that the universal sympathy in her death should not touch the [brinks?] of grief. There is not a person in Clifton who would not make any sacrifice to show these dear parents how deeply they deplore the death of their child, and who would not willingly help to bear the burden of this bereavement. Words and languages fail the writer in expressing the depth and sincerity of the sympathy he feels for these parents whose numerous kindnesses have afforded him numberless pleasures and whose devotion to their only child has often been an object of his admiration. She is gone but not forgotten. The love that belongs to those children whom Divinity has taken to himself is a chord as strong as bands of steel that bind us to a hope of rest beyond this tide of tribulations, and a ladder by which we mount to the heights of His eternal promises. From the Clifton Enterprise, Thurs., Dec. 20, 1894, p. 3. The following was handed to us by a friend of the parents of little Juanita HASSELL:One by one our loved ones leave us, just as the leaves in autumn wither and fall; And the sad truth deeply grieves us, but death in time will claim them all. An old Danish proverb truly says Death does not blow a trumpet but comes to us unawares just when we least expect it. Yes, cruel death steals in and plucks our faire flowers. Little Juanita was just blooming into lovely childhood when she was transported by angels to a fairer clime, and no sweeter, lovelier flower blooms in all the garden of paradise. She is not dead but quietly sleeps until the great resurrection morn while [her] sweet little spirit basks in the sunlight of God’s everlasting love, Who taketh notice even of the sparrows when they fall. We think we are resigned to God’s will, but when the icy hand of death falls upon those we love our hearts cry out for our lost darlings and in our anguish we almost forget that God is love but we should feel that He doeth all things well. Father, mother, do not weep, for she is happy beyond human conception of happiness. Go, hope and [bid?] their weeping cease, steal from their fom their [sic] hearts the pang and bear a soft balm to those who fondly mourn the dead. And while I know your heart is breaking and you long for the sight of a lovely face and the touch of that baby hand and the sweet voice which you will long to hear which will echo no more in your hall and the gay laughter of childish glee is forever silent in that once bright and happy home. And I know dear CLARA that Christmas will only bring up sweet memories of long ago, but for the sake of the dear babe of Bethlehem bow in humble submission to His will and [lovingly?] pass under the rod. A FRIEND.

Rankin Youngblood Submitted by Edgar D. Byler, III Source: Wayne County News no date on clipping but July 1937	Rankin Youngblood Rankin Youngblood was drowned July 20, 1937, at TVA dam, when gates in the dam were accidentally opened on him. His vacant place can never be filled. We will miss him do for he was kind hearted and always ready to help anyone in distress. He was an open book to the world. Rankin told his mother two weeks before his death that when he died he would go to rest and also told her and his father that he was going to die soon. God does all things well, and Rankin was too good to stay any longer on this troublesome world. We want to thank all of our friends for their kindness in our bereavement and for the beautiful floral offerings. Everyone was very nice and we thank them again.Friend after friend departs, Who hat not lost a friend, There is no union here of hearts That finds not here an end. Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest; There is a world above where parting is unknown, A whole eternity of love and blessedness alone. And faith beholds the dying here Transplanted to that happier sphere. We leave all ills to God, out Father, and ask Him to make us able to bear our troubles and at last send us to our dear boy where trouble comes not more. Written by his mother and family, W. Youngblood.

William S. Worthing/WarthenSubmitted byBarbara (Warthen) WallaceSource: The Mannsville News,Mannville, Indian Territory September 30, 1907, page 1 Vol. 4, # 13,	William S. WORTHING (sic) WARTHEN The subject of this sketch, W.S. Worthing (sic), was born in Wayne County, Tenn., Feb. 1829. He moved to Collin County, Texas, in 1854. Here he spent the greater part of his life. He moved to the Ind. Ter. in 1892, located near Mannsville. Here he remained until the time of his death which took place Sept. the 7, 1907. Bro. Worthing was one of our oldest preachers in this country. While he was 78 years old and stooped with age, yet he never knew what it was to give up. He was always ready to do his part of the Lords work. he was an honest man in every sense of the word, always faithful to his engagements. He fell on the battle field while battling for God. The last work he ever done on earth was done for his Master. Bro Worthing was never a man to hunt easy places in the Kingdom of God, but like Him, who called him to labor, he made himself of no reputation, but took on himself the form of a servant. It seemed to be his delight to get in the hardest places and labor for his Master. As content as most men, where they are continually encouraged by the way. He leaves behind 10 children, 5 of whom were present at his funeral. Bro. Worthing preached for 40 long years and his greatest desire was to see all his children saved. Bro. Worthing leaves behind him a host of good warm friends, who will greatly miss his presence, but most of all his young brethren in the ministry will miss his presence among them. Two old scarred soldiers had fought together and suffered together, at last one of these soldiers was dying when his comrade said to him, ” You will soon be with Jesus. Then you will be happy.” The reply was, “I can not be happy to the fullest extent until you get there.” So when all get there who have been led to Jesus by Bro. Worthing’s influence, his happiness will be full. Our prayer is that his children may be able to meet him around the thrown of God.(Authors) C. W. Crawford, J. J. Risinger, J. R. Hall Note: His father was John Worthen of Wayne County, TN; 1850 Wayne County Federal Census, Wm Worthen married Sarah Ann (unknown) within the year; second wife is said to have been Margaret Elizabeth Colphen (sic); 1860 third wife listed on the marriage record as Lette Wilkerson (sic)(widow of Mr. Wilkins & mother of John Wilkins).

Mrs. Elizabeth Whitten Submitted by Bill Page Source: “Nashville Christian Advocate” November 3, 1853	Died, at the residence of her son, David C. Whitten, on the 4th of August last, sister Elizabeth Whitten, in the 66th year of her age. Sister W. was a native of South Carolina; married George Whitten on the 26th of May, 1808; moved to Tennessee, and settled in Wayne County, in 1818. – Some two years before she left the State of her nativity, she sought, and doubtless obtained, religion, and for many years gave clear manifestations of her united ties to the church, and devotion to God. A few years before her death, she seemed quite cold, and at times thought that she was lukewarm; but before her death she gave her friends to understand that she was willing to die. For many years, her house had been a good home for the heralds of the cross. Many of the itinerants well recollect her mother-like treatment. Peace be to her gentle spirit. Her works praise her, though she is in the gate. W.B. Edwards. Oct.21, 1853. (from Nashville Christian Advocate, November 3, 1853)
George Whitten, Esq. Submitted by Bill Page Source: “Nashville Christian Advocate” 22 May 1856	Died of pneumonia, April 27, 1856, at his own residence, in Wayne County, Tenn., George Whitten, Esq. He was a native of South Carolina, was born in 1787, professed religion in his thirtieth year, and attached himself to the Methodist E. Church soon thereafter, in and to which he was as much devoted as any person I ever knew. For thirty-nine years of his life his seat was rarely vacant when the Word of Life was to be dispensed. He was the subject of sore affliction for the last half of his life, yet he never absented himself from the sanctuary of the Lord when the weather was such that he could turn out in safety. He was so much attached to the Church of his choice that I never knew him in all my life fail to contribute his proportional part of quarterage, no matter how much he might be straitened in his pecuniary affairs. So great a friend was he to class meetings and love-feasts, that I never knew him present at one but that he told the dealings of God with his soul, and the Lord nearly always blessed him when he spake. I well remember the last love feast I saw him at, at a quarterly meeting at Whitten’s Chapel, in June last. Brother Burr (P.E.) remarked that time was precious; my father arose; with his white locks waving in the gentle breezes, said he, “Brethren, I feel that this is the last love-feast I shall ever attend; therefore I do the more freely speak. I have been battling for heaven near forty years, and though I have been subject to trials like you all, yet, thank God, I’ve ever found his grace sufficient for me – though I’ve been tired by the way, thank God I’ve never tired in the way.” When he sat down he was in an ecstasy, and there was scarce a dry eye in the house. I record this, because it was the last love-feast or sacrament that he ever did attend. His sufferings were very great, of twelve days’ duration; but during his afflictions he spoke freely of death and eternity. He remarked some day or two before he died that he had not been as happy as he could wish; “But,” said he, “I know the reason; my pain is so excrutiating, though,” said he,” I feel no condemnation – I believe it will be well with me after death.” He has passed away from among us, yet he still lives in our hearts and affections.

George Tucker Helton Submitted by Dave N. Lee	George Tucker HELTON, one of our best and most highly respected citizens, quietly passed away at 5:45 p.m., Tuesday, Feb.10, 1925, at the home of his son, J. D. HELTON, in Waynesboro, aged 81 years, 11 months, and 23 days. A recently contracted cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia, was the immediate cause of his death. His illness was of short duration and his death a surprise and shock to his family and friends. Three companions had preceded him: the first, formerly, Miss Nancy OLD, the second, Miss Nancy Catherine MORROW; the third, Miss Bettie REEVES, the last having died just two weeks previous to his death. Funeral services, held at the residence of this son, J. D. HELTON, were conducted by Rev. Win. N. IRWIN and Rev. Roy ANGEL, afier which burial took place in the Green River cemetery.He leaves surviving him these children: J. D. HELTON, postmaster and Wayne HELTON of Waynesboro, Mrs. Laura LEE, wife of Joe LEE of Lawrence County. Another son, Joe had also preceded him leaving two children: Martha and Bessie. Three brothers also survive him:J.W. HELTON of Eldorado, Ark, age 89 years; H. A. HELTON of Waynesboro, age 79 years, and Sam HELTON of Cement, OkIa, age 69 years.Since the death of his last wife he has made his home with his son, J. D. HELTON where he was given every attention, medical and otherwise, which love and duty could supply. He was a man of strong physique, but of quiet and unostentatious demeanor, a kind husband and father whose life was exemplary in his attachment to his home and family.Possessing a kindly, genial disposition, he met the cares and responsibilities of life with cheerfulness and fortitude combined, and was of that type of man, who, beneath a rugged exterior, possessed the stirring qualities characteristic of the good citizen, the honest man and Christian gentleman. As a worthy member of the Baptist church he lived a life consistent with his professor and faith. Conscious of the nearness of the end when first stricken with unwavering faith he entered the valley of shadows passing through it without a tremor, opened his eyes in sight of the other side and with the remark, “lsn’t it Daylight?” folded his hands upon his breast, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the sweet peace of eternal rest.I am sure that in the last moments, while earth was receding and the ship was tossing amid the breakers, he trusted the Great Pilot, and with resignation to His will could say:Leave not thou me; Great Pilot, unattended, When the shore-line fades from view. Go thou with me until the voyage is ended – Guide my frail bark safely through, Leave not along thy servant at the crossing, Of Life’s shadow, unseen shore; Steer thou. 0! Pilot, while the ship is tossing O’er the breakers to the goal. There is no danger, with such pilot guiding Shallows, breakers though there be; Though dark the shadows, I am still confiding, Guide, Great Pilot, guide thou me. A Friend.

His character and reputation entitles him in our highest encomiums and praise. Without richest — in the sense of the world’s goods — he was rich in the higher and better attributes which go to make for ideal citizenship. His life has been, not only true to the highest standard of good citizenship, but has been conspicuous in its devotion to right living, honor, and for every virtue which constitutes an ideal husband, father and friend. “And, as these words are being expressed through lips other than mine, I will be conscious of this solemn presence – this final parting – this present farewell; but with this consciousness comes to me the assurance that his life has not been in vain, and that, sometime in the great beyond we shall renew our association in an eternal – neverending – perfect – reunion. “His father and mother have given to Wayne County, and every community in which Boyd Melton was known, a gift of true manhood – a type of ideal citizenship – a reputation without stain – and in his death we are conscious not only of our own personal, but public bereavement.”

He professed religion, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, April 15, 1839; was licensed to preach, August, 1841. He was married to Nancy Hays, Aug. 28, 1842. She died Dec. 1, 1843. In October, 1841, he was received into the Tennessee Conference, and appointed to the Lincoln Circuit, which had twenty six preaching places, covering the ground now (1881) occupied by two stations and three or four circuits. Joseph Smith was his colleague. Quarterage receipts, $60 25. In 1845 he traveled Marshall Circuits, in Alabama, with Joseph Turrentine, Quarterage received $59 70. First two years, all told, $119.95. In 1846 he traveled Lawrence African Mission, also in Alabama—had twenty appointments in three weeks. Quarterage and traveling expenses paid by the pastors in full, but owing to some arrangement, he never exactly understood, Conference took it all from him except $100. This was the last year he failed to receive his full disciplinary allowance. He went to the Limestone Circuit, in Alabama, in 1847, with Dawson Phelps. In 1848 he was ordained elder by Bishop Paine (having been ordained deacon by Bishop Andrew in 1846), and stationed in Shelbyville, Tenn. In 1849 and 1850, stationed in Tuscumbia, Ala. In 1851 and 1852, stationed in Franklin, Tenn. In 1853, stationed at Hobson Chapel, Edgefield, Tenn. In 1854, stationed again in Shelbyville, Tenn. In 1855, Agent for the Tennessee Conference Tract Society. In 1856, stationed at Andrew Church, Nashville, Tenn. In 1858, stationed in McMinnville, Tenn. In 1859, stationed at Andrew church, Nashville, Tenn., again. In 1860, stationed at Spring Hill, Tenn. In 1861, presiding elder of Centerville District, and returned in 1862, where he remained until 1865, no sessions of the Conference being held for 1863 and 1864 in consequence of the war. This district embraced Forts Henry and Donelson, and was early the scene of war, and most of it was overrun backward and forward by the contending armies, and was especially the scene of many dashing raids and bold partisan warfare. But the presiding elder, feeling that there was the greater need for the Church to be taken care of, remained in his district, filling every appointment except two Saturday appointments. Most of the preachers remained with him, and local preachers were employed to take the places of the few who left, so that there was regular preaching at all the churches during all the war. The preachers and official members were called together each year about the time the Annual Conference should have met, and the work was readjusted, and such changes made as seemed to be necessary, never keeping any man in any charge longer than the disciplinary term. At these meetings the statistics were reported and recorded, the Conference and missionary collections received and disbursed, appropriations made for the next year, and every part of the Annual Conference work which could be done was attended to, including the preparation and record of memoirs of deceased ministers. Thus the organization of the district, etc. was kept up. In 1865 he was stationed in Huntsville, Ala., and on the 5th of November was married to Mary Williams, of Stewart County, Tenn. In 1866 he was appointed and reappointed Agent of the American Bible Society for West Tennessee and North Mississippi. In April 1876 he resigned his position as Bible Agent, and in the fall of the same year returned to the regular work of the itinerancy, with which he had never severed his connection. When Conference met at Columbia, in 1876, he was sent to the Mt. Pleasant Circuit, where he served four years. In 1880 he was sent to the Alexandria Circuit, where, after serving his people faithfully for near six months, on the morning of the 19th of May he peacefully laid aside the cross for the crown.The foregoing is a brief outline of the life and labors of the Rev. S. P. Whitten, one of the most honored and beloved members of the Tennessee Conference. His death was very sudden. He was in usual health, and after eating dinner he sat down and had a pleasant and cheerful conversation with his family, and proposed to ride to his recording stewards to procure facts preparatory to his District Conference. Stepping out of the parsonage to make ready for his ride he was suddenly stricken with paralysis, and was brought back to the house, lingered thirty-six hours, and without speaking a word, fell asleep in Christ.Brother Whitten was of medium size, compactly built, and usually enjoyed comfortable health. He had a sound mind, which he carefully cultivated by reading and study. He was an able minister of the New Testament and a genuine Methodist preacher. His life was consistent and his example worthy of imitation. He administered the affairs of the Church with prudence and marked ability. As circuit preacher, missionary, stationed preacher, presiding elder, and Bible agent, he did his work with system, zeal, ability, and success. He was a delegate to the general Conference in 1870, and honored his Conference in that relation.He belonged to a large family of Methodists, several of whom were and are honored Methodist preachers. Brother Whitten was a member of my family for twelve months while filling Hobson Chapel, and was a discreet, amiable Christian gentleman in private life. He has left a widow in feeble health, who rejoices in hope of joining him soon in the glory land, and two children, who esteem it an honor to be the descendents of a parent so worthy. The members of the Tennessee Conference and thousands will receive the tidings of his death with great sorrow. A good man, a faithful minister, and a loving friend. We mourn his departure, but he died in Christ. J. B. M. Ferrin
John C. Rasbury Submitted by Jean R. Parsley From The Wayne Countian 5 Mar 1931, page 1, Clifton, Tennessee	John C. Rasbury Dies at Topsy Home(By Addie Walker)John C. Rasbury, who has been one of Topsy’s most prominent citizens during his entire life, died Wednesday afternoon, February 26, 1931, at the family home. He had been in feeble health for some time, however the end came unexpectedly as his condition was not thought to have been more serious than for sometime.Mr. Rasbury was born October 3, 1846, being eighty-four years, four months and twenty-two days at the time of his death. At the age of twenty-four he was married to Miss Sarah A. Harbison who survives him together with two daughters, Mrs. J.F. Craig, Lawrenceburg and Mrs. Ora Bell, of Clovis, New Mexico, and four sons, A.M. and H.L. of Hohenwald, Quinton, Paducah, Texas and Oliver of the home, one brother A.L. Rasbury near Riverside and one sister, Mrs. John R. Kelly, Steele, Missouri, also a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren.At the age of seventeen years he became a Confederate soldier and served under General Nathan B. Forrest during the Civil war. He was one of the great southern patriots, who bravely wore the gray until his flag went down in blood and tears and then accepted the decision of war in good faith and came home to become a loyal American citizen and help rebuild his desolated country. As long as health permitted he attended the Confederate Reunions each year. He was the last survivor of the “Army in Gray” that lived in the north part of Wayne county. Mr. Rasbury joined the Primitive Baptist church the first Sunday in August, 1908 and lived a Christian life. He had a wide circle of friends and was a man that was devoted to his family and was loved by all who knew him. So he leaves a host of friends as well as relatives to mourn his loss. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Elder J.A. Pope and M. Saunders of Dickson, and burial was in the family cemetery at Salem.

Short History of Collinwood

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Betty Peacock

Written by the late Eva BURNS SMITH LUTTRELL

Collinwood, located in the center of Wayne County is included in the 150 acres tract of land that was granted by the State of Tennessee to Mr. A. G. McDOUGAL by Grant No. 28 containing 2500 acres of land on Butler and Shawnattee Creek. This was on April 12, 1847. Then on September 11, 1849, the 150 acres, of which Collinwood is located, was conveyed to James TILLEY by Mr. McDOUGAL for $20.00 in hand.

Five years later, Mr. TILLEY sold the land to Harmon LAKEY and authorized McDOUGAL to make Mr. LAKEY a deed to it. Then Mr. TILLEY moved to Arkansas, Mr. LAKEY fenced in some of the land and farmed it for forty-six years. He died in 1898 leaving a son William LAKEY as his only heir. Nine years later William LAKEY sold the land to Jasper McWILLIAMS for $250.00. Three years later on September 1904, Jasper McWILLIAMS sold to a Mr. G. N. SCOTT for $500.00. Seven years later on December 29, 1911, Mr. G. N. SCOTT sold it to a Mr. W. M. SCOTT for $2,000. One year later, August 17, 1912, Mr. W. M. SCOTT sold it to a Mr. Wes McGEE for $2,500.00 and then seven days later Mr. McGEE sold it to Mr. J. E. WILBURN for $2,500.00. At this time there were just a few scattered houses owned by settlers who did some farming and timber work.

Early in 1913, the Superior Lumber and Tie Company purchased several acres of forest land around the area where Collinwood is now located. W. W. COLLINS was a Superintendent of the operations for the company and it seems was a man of great energy. He hurriedly set up the company’s sawmills, and started a plan toward building a town. He named the town Collinwood – Collin for him and wood because of the great wood industry. At this time the Collinwood Land Company was formed by the businessmen of the town along with the companies. They purchased the land from Mr. J. E. WILBURN for $12,000.00. They hired an engineer, a Mr. Edward LULL, to lay out the town. They sub-divided a portion of the land into town lots and laid off and located a number of streets and alleys.

In December of 1913 the first train pulled into the settlement. Work had begun one year before by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Company who had a contact to build and operate the railroad known as the Tennessee Western Railroad Company, and to furnish telegraph equipment and lines from Collinwood to St. Joseph, Tennessee. There was much excitement ion the town when the first train pulled in for its first shipment of lumber.

As soon as possible buildings were started being built. Some of the first buildings were a Drug Store owned by S. E. BYLER, a Grocery and Dry Goods Store owned by J. L. BURNS, and a Hardware Store owned by Gard WHITTEN, a Feed Store owned by Harman BRYANT and a Boarding House owned by T. A. ADKINSON.

In 1917 the Collinwood Land Company sold out to the Tennessee Valley Iron and Railroad Company for $5.00 cash and other goods and valuable sufficient considerations.

A brick plant was constructed where the Lumber Company is now situated and bricks were made to build the brick buildings, one of the first being the Bank of Collinwood.

The crashing sound of falling timber, the hissing of locomotives and the rush of immigrants gave Collinwood a real boom town air and the population reached two thousand. All this was before World War I. The town was incorporated in 1915, but this lasted only a couple of years. During this time a Mr. HOLMES started publishing a newspaper called the Collinwood Pilot and it had all the splendor of a frontier newspaper. A beautiful depot was built.

When the outbreak of war in Europe came and Uncle Sam began scouting around for something to fight his war with, the still large reserves of hardwoods beckoned and in almost not time two thousand men were at work setting up a chemical plant with which to manufacture alcohol, acetate of lime, car tar, pig iron and charcoal. The furnace for the plant was shipped from Rusk, Texas. In order to keep a supply of wood for the chemical plant and logs for the sawmills, a tram line made if wood and similar to a railroad was constructed to haul the logs from the forest to the mill. These trams were first pulled by a steam engine but they didn’t prove successful. Then mules and horses were used to pull them. This brought on a demand for horses and some car loads of wild western horses were being shipped to the Collinwood area and sold at auction.

The town took on a very lively atmosphere. Three trains came in each day, two of them passengers. Each time the train whistle would sound the town would gather at the depot because each time the train came it meant more new people. They came from all sections of the country but most of them came from the North and East and the Southern people could hardly understand their language. Included with these people from the East were the personnel of the companies. They built fine homes in the area where Hassell & Hughes Lumber Company is now located. These homes had running water and baths which was unheard of until then.

The Collinwood Hotel, called the Highland Inn, was rapidly constructed and the company built a huge commissary and did a thriving business along with the other stores that were built. Even a silent moving picture theater was built and each week it was filled with people to see Hoot Gibson and other great actors of that time. Each week a boxing match was staged as an added attraction. This drew many fans as well as boxers. There were several boxers from this area who were great. One who was champ for quite a while was Earl CARTER.

During these days of wealth and merriment, three horseless carriages were brought into Wayne County. One of these was owned by J. D. DUNN. It was an air cooled Franklin and the many predicaments Mr. DUNN got into with it were quite interesting.

The first doctors in Collinwood were S. E. BYLER, who was Doctor and Druggist; Dr. W. W. RIPPY, Dr. REYNOLDS, and Dr. J. F. TOWNSEND. The first dentist was Dr. BLACK.

Miss Mamie ADKINSON taught the first school, a one room building. Later a larger school was built where the present elementary school now stands.

The Southern Methodist Church was built in 1917 and the First Methodist Church in 1918.

Then came Armistice Day. The war was over. The government closed down the plant and Collinwood suffered a slight depression. But in 1919, workers were sent back and the plant was operated for about a year then the Tennessee Valley Iron and Railroad Company was declared insolvent and the Tennessee Charcoal Company bought most of the property including the vast forests. They cut lumber and shipped it out to other plants and kept the town going for several more years.

Along about 1928 Collinwood’s world quivered and tottered. The stock market broke too. Work on every project stopped. The hotel burned down and Collinwood folded. The charter was revoked by the legislature. The railroad were taken up and most of the Northerners moved out and as one reporter put it, “It took on the look of a ghost town.”

The Tennessee Charcoal Company was declared insolvent and Bon Brother Corp. bought the property in 1929. They employed a few people in lumbering. But the main form of livelihood was farming and many people had to move away in order to live.

Then Hassell and Hughes Lumber Company bought the property and set up a lumber industry that helped almost every family here.

When World War II broke out bomb racks were made here and many people were now being employed in the Muscle Shoals area. There was a growing demand for lumber and the lumber company expanded and hired more men.

At the present time [1985] we have a new manufacturing plant that employs about 350, mostly women and another lumber industry, the By-Far Products operated by Allen FARRIS that employs several.

Our population now is around 1,000 with new people moving in regularly. We have a new high school that everyone is proud of. We also have five churches, two new supermarkets and other stores that help us.

Since Collinwood is the only town on the Natchez Trace, many tourists come through especially in the summer and this helps gas business immensely.

We now have two policemen – only one was needed in the early days. The old depot is now being used for a Senior Citizens Center.

We may never reach the population of 3,000 as in the old time, but as one old timer said, “It’s a good place to live.”
