Have Obituary Obituary of Rhoda A. Griner West as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 6 Jul 1923. Camilla, Georgia. Reprinted from "Thomasville Times Enterprise" dated 28 Jun 1923.

Many friends throughout this section of Georgia will learn with deep regret of the death of Mrs. W. L. West this morning at about 8:00 AM at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Bozeman at her home on Cassady Road. Mrs. West had been ill for several weeks, death coming after a protracted time of suffering lasting more than two months. Mrs. West was a resident of Mitchell county from infancy and was born 30 Mar 1845. She was married to Mr. W. L. West also a native of Mitchell county, on 20 Feb 1865 while he was at home on a furlough from the Confederate Army. She is survived by her husband and several children, Mrs. S. L. Cheshire, Mrs. C. A. Bozeman of Thomasville; Mrs. Charles Davison of Moultrie; Mrs. Minnie Shiver of Sale City, W. H. West of Doerun and G. W. Ersy of Florida. The funeral services will occur tomorrow, 29 Jun 1923, at 10:00 AM from the residence of Dr. and Mrs. S. L. Cheshire on Cecil Street, Rev W. M. Harris officiating. The interment will take place immediately afterward at Laurel Hill cemetery. Mrs. West has spent a most useful and purposeful life. Her character was ever the guiding star for her life. Truly it may be said she lived unselfishly and more than did her part in the perpetuation of those civic and religious virtues that make us better and finer in every way. She has passed to a just reward that awaits the faithful in the Lord. The following members of the Board of Deacons of the Baptist church are asked to act as pallbearers: J. S. Montgomery, B. B. Broughton, Joe Jerger Jr., W. E. Beverly, J. A. White and Ardis McDougald.
