    3. Hi All, I copied this while looking for Obituaries at the Library. Maybe this will add some 'color' to someone's family history. Mary Ellis High Point Enterprise, Sunday, July 20, 1924 Whitsett News Whitsett, July 19 --- Mr. and Mrs. Gaston D. Cobb of Tulsa, Okla., are here for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. W.H. McLean. Mr. Cobb is a brother of Mrs. McLean and has for some years made his home in Oklahoma where he has been successful in various business enterprises. Mr. and Mrs. Junius Clapp from Florence, S.C. are here for a few days with relatives. Mrs. G.W. Kernodle of Washington, D.C., arrived last week to spend some time with friends in the community. She is well remembered as Miss Kate Cobb, formerly of Elon college before her marriage to Dr. G. W. Kernodle. Dr. W.T. Whitsett reached home today from a visit to Orange county. On Sunday he delivered the memorial address at the home coming day of Chestnut Ridge Methodist church located between Mebane and Chapel Hill, one of the largest churches in that section. While away he visited the scene of the wind storm of last Thursday which destroyed the former home of the late J. Frank Thompson near Chestnut Ridge school. A very large tree was blown down across the residence almost completely destroying the house but fortunately killing none of the occupants. Next Sunday, July 20th, the protracted services at Springwood Presbyterian church will begin to continue for some days. The Christian Endeavor society of Bethel church near McLeansville has extended an invitation to the Whitsett Endeavor society to hold a joint meeting at Bethel at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, the 20th. The Whitsett society will send a special speaker for the meeting, and also furnish some special musical selections for the occasion. A number of the boys and girls, members of the county clubs, will go this year to the annual outing of the clubs to be held as usual on the Rockingham play grounds near Wentworth in Rockingham county. Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Davenport of Kenly, N.C., are expected the latter part of the week to attend the Guilford county Sunday school convention at Guilford college the 24th and 25th. Mrs. R. O. Walker plans to go to Raleigh Wednesday for a special meeting, and thence to Norfolk for a short stay with relatives. Miss Isla Willis Thompson, who has been in Richmond, Va., for the last week attending the southern convention of the Christian Endeavor societies reached home today. She reports a great convention, and a delightful time. Miss Gladys Holt and several friends from Burlington were pleasant visitors Sunday afternoon. The heavy rains of the past few days have greatly hindered the farmers in gathering in the wheat crop, much of which is till standing in the fields. It is feared that there has been serious damage to the crop. Mrs. G.W. Davenport is planning to visit her sister in Montreat sometime soon. Rev. G.C. Irvin, who is junior pastor of West Market Street church, has been secured to assist in the meeting that begins at the Methodist church on Sunday evening, July 27th. He preached here some years ago, and is very popular with everybody. Dr. and Mrs. Fred C. Mendenhall of Winston-Salem, were visitors the first of the week. Mrs. Mendenhall will remain for a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Ed. B. Wheeler.
