This is transcribed in the interest of Frowner genealogy, and history. ---------------------------------------------------- Clarke County Democrat, Grove Hill, Alabama October 7, 1937, page 1 W. H. Frowner Dies At Advanced Age Last week the Democrat lost one of its most loyal readers in the death of Willie H. Frowner, aged negro resident of Manila. "Uncle Willie" celebrated his 87th birthday on the 15th of last July, having been born at Winn on this date, 1850. He had spent all of his life in Clarke County and for more than fifty years had been a subscriber to The Democrat. After moving to Manila he amassed considerable property, at one time owning more than 600 acres of land. Later he gave certain of his children parcels of the land but at the time of his death he owned his own home, debt free, and a nice farm. He was the father of 11 boys and one girl. Most of these now reside in the North but some of them still live on the family homestead at Manila. He was a devout member of the Baptist church and was a leader among his people. Such negroes are a credit to their race and we join the many friends of the departed, both white and colored, in deploring his death. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
