(Southerland) McWhorter, natives of Casey County, Ky., and of Irish and English descent respectively. Charles V. McWhorter received only a limited education in youth; however, he has by his own exertions acquired a very good business education. He has always resided on the old farm, with the exception of two years when engaged in the live stock business in Texas. Here he extensively and successfully engaged in farming and stock raising. The farm is an excellent one; is well improved and in a good state of cultivation. In March, 1865, he enlisted in Company B, First Kentucky Cavalry (State service), and served with his regiment in all its marches and engagements until October of the same year, when they were mustered out of service at Lebanon, Ky. The regiment was principally engaged in scouting and guerrilla warfare. Mr. McWhorter married, May 28, 1874, Miss Eliza G. Tucker, a native of Green County, Ky., born January 13, 1855. She is a daughter of Robert M. and Nancy E. (Knifley) Tucker, natives of [Green] and Adair Counties, respectively. To Mr. and Mrs. McWhorter seven children have been born: Ada A., Minnie I., Robert W. (deceased), Lucian A., Fannie L. (deceased), Nancy E. (deceased), and Beersheba. Mr. and Mrs. McWhorter are members of the Christian Church. In politics he is a Democrat and is one of the enterprising and successful farmers of the county. (Adair, Kentucky, History and Biographies) ------------------------------------------- Mr. C.V. McWhorter, formerly of this place, died at his late home in Bentonville, Ark., Sept., 20. He left here 15 years ago and went to Oklahoma, remaining there until the early part of this year, when he removed to the above named place. His death was unexpected to his many friends and relatives, as he was ill only a few days. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss besides a host of friends and relatives in Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Ark. Funeral services were conducted at this place September 26. by Eld., J.Q. Montgomery, his remains being laid to rest in the McWhorter graveyard. He lived a consistent Christian life from early manhood until the end, and his last words were for all to live right and love one another. I would say unto the bereaved ones that you sorrow not as those who have no hope. (The Adair County News, Oct 10, 1917)
