FORREST CITY TIMES NEWSPAPER
MAY 31,1912
DEATH OF MR.JOHN I. WHITENTON
Died at his residence west of the city, Tuesday morning, May 28,1912, after a short illness. The announcement of his death Tuesday morning was the first intimation his many friends in the city had of Mr.Whittenton ever being seriously ill, much less the victim of the dread Angel of Death, and was received with profound sorrow and regret. The remains were laid to rest in the Forrest City cemetery Tuesday afternoon, under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World, and a large number of friends paid their last tribute by their attendance. Mr.Whittenton was 41 years of age at the time of his death, was born in Tennessee, but had practically lived in St.Francis county his whole life. Mr.Whittenton leaves a wife and nine children, four boys and five girls. He was a member of the Geo.P.Taylor Lodge No.196, I.O.O.O.F.
