WHISENANT, Otie – (d. 1915)

We, the members of Oak Hill Sunday school of Oak Hill Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Table Rock Circuit, herein express our great sorrow caused by the death of a dear little thirteen-year-old girl, Otie WHISENANT, daughter of Mr. Enoch WHISENANT. Her faithfulness to Sunday school in attendance and interest was remarkable. Her pretty, bright face was an inspiration.  She was beloved, and she will be sadly missed. 

Therefore, be it resolved:
First, That we reverently submit to the will of our Heavenly Father. 
Second, That we extend sympathy that is heartfelt to the bereaved loved ones. 
Third, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, to each of the Morganton paper, and to the North Carolina Christian Advocate. 

(Signed) – Mrs. Elmer SIMPSON, Mrs. James WALL, Miss Cleo WALL
