"Mrs. Annie Brown Wyatt," (Newton) The Newton Record, Unknown, p. 1, col. 2;
Mrs. Annie Brown Wyatt succumbed at Conehatta July 7. She was born in Neshoba county February 24, 1857, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henery Brown [sic], of Conehatta. She was a member of the Pleasant Valley Methodist church, and lived true to the tenets of her faith.
Survivors include two daughters, Mrs. W. M. Hollingsworth, Mrs. G. B. Hollingsworth, both of Decatur, three sons, M. C. Wyatt of Mobile, Ala., W. A. of Conehatta, and Fincher of Conehatta; a host of grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held at the Conehatta Methodist church, with the Revs. C. F. Bufkin and Schultz officiating. Burial was made in the church cemetery. Active pallbearers were Jim Ezelle, Lewis Smiley, Bob Atkinson, Ray Blackburn, Dewitt Blackburn, and Erb Stamper. Southern Funeral Home of Decatur was in charge of arrangements;
[This obituary is troublesome as it lists a different birth date than that on the tombstons and different parents for Annie A. Brown Wyatt. Who is Henry Brown of Conehatta? Who is listed as her parents on her death certificate?
Also, the date Steve listed for the obituary is 21 Nov 1940 which doesn't appear to be correct. Contact Steve to have him recheck his notes.
I also need to populate the survivors when I have the answers to the questions that arise from the obituary.]

(Newton) The Newton Record, 9 Aug 1917, p. 3;
Only a few hours after Comrade Gatewood passed away, my cherished friend and brother, Frank Wyatt joined the silent host "on the other side." Frank had been my true and fast friend from his boyhood until he reached the end of his sixty-third year. He died unexpectedly at Gum Springs, where he and his wife were sojourning for the benefit of his health. He was a good man, a good citizen and faithful in all the relations of life; which he had adorned with consistency, prudence and fidelity. These friends were all professing Christians and church members and lived and died with the assurance of a better life beyond."
I sincerely mourn their departure and their loss to home and country, which cannot be replaced, save by the reconciling presence of Him who said "blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." "They cease from their labors and their works do follow them."
