Notes for RICHARD F. WESTBERRY:
Death of Richard F. Westberry, (1913, Jesup, Georgia)

Saturday, the 30th last, 2:30 PM, the Death Angel came in our midst and bore the Spirit of our young friend, Richard F. Westberry, back to the God who gave it.
Our hearts are bowed with sorrow. Tears mingle with those of our friends in this calamity, for we cannot understand why one who was in the bloom of manhood should be taken away, but we know that our Heavenly Father is too wise to err and that for some grand purpose he saw fit to take Richard from his earthly home to the home prepared for him on High.
The deceased has been a member of the Bethlehem Baptist Church for several years. He was about 28 years of age and a young man of good qualities and well liked by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by his friends and associates, but we feel that his death was for some good purpose that we cannot now see.
We realize that our days on earth are numbered and that we all should live so that when the summons on high shall come, we should be ready to meet our friends and loved ones there.
Richard was the third of six brothers, five of whom survive. They are W. K., M. H., J. C., C. D., and Harry Westberry of Gardi.
Three sisters, Mrs. Eben Kicklighter of Jesup, Mrs. J. A. Richardson of Winter Haven, Florida and Mary Westberry of Gardi. Also his aged father who has the symphany of the entire community. We trust that the Mercies of Heaven may rest upon them and that they may realize that their loss is his gain. They have the sweet realization that their loved one is at piece.
The poor worn frame will never more be racked with agonies of pain-suffering is at an end. He has heard the words from the Father’s lips, “Well done, thou good and Faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.
It will only be a little while until they cross the dark river and join their loved one among the hosts of the saved on the other shore.”

Last Rites Held For H. B. Westberry. Funeral services for Harry B. Westberry, 52, life-long resident of Wayne County, who was fatally wounded from a shotgun blast at Kendrick Logging Camp on Jones Island on the Long County side of the Altamaha River Sunday morning, were conducted Monday afternoon at the Gardi Baptist Church. Rev. Stetson Bennett officiated. Burial followed in the Pendarvis Cemetery. Harrison Funeral Home was in charge. Pallbearers were W. C. Westberry, Emory Westberry, Alton Westberry, Gene Kicklighter, Rufus Holliday, and Bennett Strickland. Honorary pallbearers were G. F. Drawdy, James Bennett, Carl Shanklin, Donald Bennett, Virgil Knight, Ted Odum, A. W. Burn and M. J. Harper. Survivors include two daughters of Niagara Falls, N. Y.; two sisters, Mrs. B. E. Kicklighter of Jesup and Mrs. John Malphurs of Ridgeland, S. C.; four brothers, W. K. Westberry and J. Cliff Westberry of Gardi; C. D. Westberry of Jesup. He was the son of the late William M. and Matilda Harper Westberry. It was stated that Mr. Westberry and William P. Henderson had a minor argument at the breakfast table and as the argument waxed hotter, Henderson started to get his single barrel shotgun. Westberry followed him, trying to reason with him, and then apologizing for his remarks. Failing to heed him, Henderson grabbed his weapon and fired as Westberry stood only a few feet away from him. The discharge tore into Westberry’s body and he fell mortally wounded. Henderson, about fifty years of age, is in the Long County Jail. Sheriff W. M. Jones, of Long County, said that Henderson claimed he fired on Westberry in self-defense. However, there is no evidence whatever to bear the claim, said Sheriff Jones. My information is that not only was the dead man unarmed, but at the time of the shooting, he was actually trying to apologize to Henderson for what had been said, as well as to reason with him.

In Memory of Kenneth Westberry
Always a smile, never a frown, Always a hand when someone was down;
Happiness you gave to everyone you knew, No better things could anyone do.
Your presence brought joy to everyone’s heart,
Laughter and cheerfulness fright from the start,
God gave us gift, then took it away,
But your beautiful memory is here to stay.
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
We little thought your death so near,
And only those who have lost can tell
The pain of parting without farewell.
Sadly missed by Mother, Father and Sisters, Edna and Cleo.
