MRS. WESTALL
LAID TO REST
East Flat Rock Mourns
Departure Of Beloved
Citizen

EAST FLAT ROCK, Aug. Is.
Especially Mrs. T. G. Westall,
Sr., who passed away at her at
tractive home on last Tuesday at
1915 a. M, following an illness
of approximately two years, was,
before her marriage, Miss Nam
ME Fowler, daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin T. Fowl
er, and cherished sister of Mrs.
Silas F. Fowler, former superin-
tendent of th:e hosiery plant
here, and who now holds a good
position with this firm and has
recently been welcomed back
here as a resident, by his friends.
Mrs. Westall was born May B,
1869, and was a native of Hay
wood county. However, they are
pioneer residents of this town,
having come here May 20, 1908.
Her marriage took place April
80, 1892. She and her husband
were a devoted couple and 10
children were born to this union.
One son, Charlie, preceded his
mother to the grave four years
ago. The funeral service was
held at the East Flat Rock Bap-
fist church, Thursday p. m. near
3: 80 o'clock and was conducted
by the pastor, the Rev. n. B.
Phillips, who rendered praises to
the deceased, and related in an
impressive manner, the story of
her conversion, at the early age
of 10 years. He was ably as
sisted by Rev. N. A. Melton, a
close friend of hers, and former
pastor of the church where the
funeral service was held. Messrs.
Mont Ward, John Sinclair,
Pritchard Jones and Clyde Whit
lock had charge of the singing,
accompanied at the piano by
Mrs. John Sinclair. They sang
of "The City of Gold" in man.
ner which produced an effect on
the feeling of the entire con-
gregation. Rev. Phillips topic
was "Faith in God" and he spoke
of her faith in him and in hui
manity.
The large attendance and
gorgeous floral tributes demon
strated something of the high es-
TEEN in which she was held in
this county. There were many
old associates from out-of-town
who attended, among them Mrs.
R. Nj. Patterson of Asheville, and
Mrs. n. B. Station of Charlotte.
She possessed a wonderful per-
sonality and was ever so con-
siderate in all instances. Her
religious activity and co-Opera-
ton with the entire faculty of
the East Flat Rock school from
year to year should hold an i'm
portant space on the pages of
the history of the town.
More than one denomination
is bereaved over her departure.
Her services rendered, as presi-
dent of the Lads Aid society of
the M. E. church here, when it
had not been established long,
were indispensable. Her heart
was in the work and as she was
highly capable leader. Much
progress was made by the or
garization at that time, its chief
objective being that of caring
for little orphan children. Also,
at that time, she taught bunch
of small boys, at the same
church, who are now adults and
were her pallbearers as per her
request before death. 1t is OBJ
vious that the constructive ideas
which she implanted in their
young minds have followed them
through life.
She was very proud of the
successes with which her children
met. Two of her daughters,
Donna Belle and Henrietta, at
tended the Asheville Normal aft
err graduating from high school
here. One of her sons, Scott,
graduated from U. N. c., Chapel
Hill, with honors. AS soon as she
realized that her youngest child,
T. c., possessed ability in art,
they managed to send him to the
John Heron Art school in In
, dianapolis, Ind, where he grad
uated. During his four years
there from time to time, he sent
his mother lovely paintings which
she priced very highly.
The pallbearers were Tomme
eagle, Delmar eagle, Boyd Ed
ney, Vernon Jones. Hubert Dun
can, Thomas Pack. The honor
airy pallbearers were J. j. Brain
