Death of Willie Treadaway
February 15, 1924: On the morning of January 29th, 1924, our community was almost paralyzed with the news of Willie Treadaway’s death, some not even knowing of his sickness, he was taken suddenly ill on Saturday night after cutting stalks part of the day Saturday making preparation for his intended next year’s crop and died the following Monday night.
Willie was one of the most moral, hardest working Christian boys of our county, loved by all. He and his mother Mrs. Matilda Treadaway, moved to this community many years ago from somewhere near the Gabriel’s Creek section of country. The writer has been a close friend of the family since their coming here and can truly say Willie was one of the best boys to his widowed mother I ever say.
He professed faith in Christ some years ago and expressed the same confidence in his last moments, however expressed one regret that he had not followed Christ in the ordinance of baptism, but said he would be baptized if permitted to get well.
