Death of Mrs. Headrick, Mother of Brother J.E. Headrick (a Deacon), Walker County, Georgia

The death of "Grandma Headrick, mother of J.E. Headrick, is mentioned in the Walker County Messenger of 28 October 1910.  She was buried at Gladden. J.M. Coley, author of the column, mentions that he was her pastor, and mentions that her son, J.E. Headrick, was a deacon of the church. (I found a cross-reference--see other notes).

Jacob Enoch L. Headrick, Deacon of Naomi Baptist Church, Walker County, Georgia; also Other Records and Notes

J.E. Headrick is mentioned as a deacon of the church in the death mention (brief obituary) of his mother, Mrs. Headrick (or 'Grandma Headrick). [Ref.: J.M. Coley, 'Death of Mrs. Headrick,' in 'Confederate X-Roads' (column), \Walker County Messenger\ (Lafayette, Walker County, Georgia), 28 October 1910 (via GALILEO).]

Here is a cross-reference for J.M. Coley as a presbyter of a church (Naomi Baptist) and J.E. Headrick as a deacon of that church, apparently at the time of its organization in 1898. However, Mrs. Headrick is not mentioned among the charter members listed.

Citation: Coley and Headrick (mentioned), 'Naomi Baptist Church,' History of Walker County (n.d., n.p.), page 369 (via GaGenWeb on USGenNet.org). The church was organized in 1898, and Coley and J.E. Headrick was a deacon. URL: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/county/fulton/walkerhistory/pg%20301-400red.pdf (accessed 18 April 2019).

Wedding Announcement of Raymond Bell and Mattie Headrick, 1910, Walker County Messenger

Wedding Announcement of Raymond Bell and Mattie Headrick
Walker County, Georgia

Humorous wedding announcement.

Well, Billy, on Thursday of last week I was trying to rake and haul hay and there was some dissatisfaction about the way some folks were living. So I was summoned up to Bro. J. E. Headrick's home and I went with wagon and hay frames and met Mr Raymond Bell, of High Point, armed with the necessary papers fresh from the Ordinary of Walker county, and in a very brief space of time I settled all their dissatisfaction between him and Miss Mattie Headrick, the oldest daughter of Bro. Headrick, and they left for Chattanooga man and wife. May supreme happiness be their lot through life and never a trouble cross their path. Mr. Bell semed to be a very nice young man. I have known Miss Mattie all her life. She is a charming bright young woman that any young man ought to be proud of.

(It goes own about hopes for the future, etc.)
