Obit; Mrs. John Whitehurst of Plant City Is Dead; Plant City, Jan.22.-Mrs. John S. Whitehurst 63 died Monday night at her home on South Collins Street of acute dilation of the heart. When she felt the attack coming on she walked to front porch and called her neighbor Mrs. W.G. Thompson, she summoned Drs. B.H. Sanchez and J.S. Harrell. They hurried to the scene and administered treatment leaving their patient on the road to recovery, but a second attack came on and she expired before physicians arrived. She has long been a resident of Plant City, well known and highly esteemed. One of her daughters is postmaster of Plant City. Mrs. Mamie E. Barnes. She is survived by her husband, her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Crum, four sons, Melvin Whitehurst, Atlanta, Ga.; Sanke Whitehurst, of Key West; William Whitehurst, of Alafia, and Leon Whitehurst of Plant City, and two daughters, Mrs. Mamie E. Barnes and Mrs. Chas. C. Burdette of Plant City. Funeral was held yesterday morning at the residence of, 1101 South Collins street. Interment was in Oaklawn cemetery.
IN MEMORY OF MRS. J.S. WHITEHURST Mrs. J.S. Whitehurst-Nee Miss Rhoda Crum eldest daughter of David L. Crum and Elizabeth Crum, passed away January 19,1925 at the age of sixty three years, and it can be truly said that a noble, Christian Character has gone from our midst. She was not a stranger to suffering, both mental and physical, but it was borne with patience and Christian resignation that enabled her to go through life to all outward appearance without a sorrow or pain. As a wife she was helpful loving and gentle, and conserved to the utmost decree the assets God had placed in her keeping. As a Mother she tipified all the word implies, it was in this relation that her noble Christian character burst forth in its greatest effulgence and glory, and gave evidence of a love and devotion that only a true Mother can possess. As a daughter she never varied from her early training, loving, kind, patient, helpful and obedient to the end. As a sister she was loving, affectionate, with a decree of tolerance that never permitted an unkind wave to come between her life, and theirs; as aneighbor and friend who was without a fault her comings and goings were beautiful and commanded the admiration of all who loved purity in life, no friend would she burden with her cares or sorrows, her pleasant, cheerful and happy mature helped many along the way. Yes Rhoda is gone, but her good works and influence will love on, truly one of the most wonderful and beautiful Christian Characters that I was ever priviledged to know has gone, but she left us a legacy rich in an exacted decree in all the Christian graces and virtues. Peace to her soul. M.H. Slone
