Blanche McWHERTER 
Tongue can not express the sadness I feel while writing in
memory of Blanche, twelve year old daughter of Mr. Henry and
Belle McWHERTER who fell asleep in Jesus� arms on Sunday morning
at 9 o�clock. She died from the effect of sticking a sewing
needle in her leg. After six weeks of pain and misery, her sweet
spirit ebbed away while her weeping friends stood around her bed,
her guardian angel flitted in unseen by mortal eyes and took her
away from her bed of suffering and upward until the golden gates
were opened and Blanche entered into othe beautiful and peaceful
home, there forever to die no more. Long  years had passed since
death entered their home. While father, mother, brother, sisters
and loved ones gathered close around her bed, after the weary
sigh escaped her lips, they saw with keen anguish only the great
dread presence there upon her face of clay. Friends with loving
hands prepared the body for burial and brought flowers with 
which to cover her casket; then the sorrowing friends 
accompanied the grief stricken parents, brothers and sisters
to the burial ground, where all that remained on earth to them
of their beloved darling Blanche was interred.  Virginia A. BOYD

Friday, November 11, 1904       THE DRESDEN ENTERPRISE

John J. DREWRY
On Sunday night November 6, at 12 o�clock, John J. DREWRY
departed this life, having been sick several weeks. Mr. DREWRY
was eighty-three years of age and left two daughters, Mrs.
Florence BLACKMORE and Miss Nany DREWRY, and one son, Horace
DREWRY, who resides in California surviving him. For many years
he had been a citizen of Dresden and he was universally loved.
His father was at one time U. S. Marshal in Nashville, and his
grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Few men 
have made better use of their opportunities and amassed a larger
amount of general information than he. He had been a reader
of history, poetry, and the classics since boyhood and a
retentive memory stored away the learning thus accumulated, until
he was, up to very recent years, a storehouse of general learning.
No man has ever lived in Dresden who enjoyed a joke or more
keenly relished good wit than Mr. Drewry. His was a gentle and
kindly life, and his love of nature and the beautiful in
humanity made him an attractive figure amongst men. Many gems of
verse have come from his pen, always to the delight of his
friends. On numerous occasions, short poems written by him have
found their way into print. His soul bubbled over with music and
poetry and love. There were none who knew him but who were fond
of his society and his charming stories. He was a companion to
his daughter, and made home happy for her all through the
latter�s years of his life, while bereft of others, to whom he
was as fondly devoted. At one time he was the register of Weakley
County and made a splendid officer. Again, he did a kindness for
the confederate soldiers of Weakley County; while commissioner
of registratons, after the war, that placed the veterans under
great obligations of gratitude to him. There were few men like
him, and the ever changing years, as they come and go, will not
soon produce such a philosopher and kindly soul as left Dresden
when the voice of John J. DREWRY was hushed in the silence of
death.
The funeral ceremonies were conducted by Bro. RUSSELL at the
late residence of the deceased, and in the presence of weeping
relatives and friends, and he was buried by the hands of
affection beneath a bank of beautiful flowers. The friends of
his youth are all gone, and while tracing the shadows of life,
the shadows of death fell on him, and his eyes closed to this
earth forever. A sweet perfume will still linger about his
precious memory, and hundreds who knew him here, and loved him,
will be thankful for his life and happiness which he taught and
illustrated to others.
God bless the children, and especially she who will set by the
window and listen for the footfall that will never return, and 
watch for the sight of that good father who is gone.   

Notice
I am going to close my business here, all who are indebted to
