Bro. Walter "Mutt" Rhodes
Some where in France at some hour on September 2, 1944, Walter "Mutt"
RHODES was called from his earthly line of battle to his heavenly reward.
Mutt was killed in action. "A greater love hath no man than this,
that he lay down his life for his country." Mutt was 20 years old
August 1st 1944. He joined the Neshoba Baptist Church in early childhood.
He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Ben RHODES. Mutt was always willing and
ready to help others. Much credit should be given him for giving his life
for his country. We shall miss his presence in our church and community.
Be it resolved, First, That his memory shall be an incentive to us to carry on a
greater work for our country and our Master, whom he loved so well.
Second, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family with the
assurance of our deepest sympathy, and may we commend them to him who can best
comfort in their hours of sorrow. Third, That a copy be placed on our
church record and Baptist Record and a copy sent to the family. Sisters,
Mrs. Ruth WILSON, Mrs. Ethie McNAIR, Miss Margie D. VIVERETTE.
