Obituary for William Cheatham

William  Cheatham
William Alfred Cheatham, 94, of Dabbs Bridge Road, Acworth, Georgia, died Sunday, March 18, 2018. Mr. Cheatham was born in Paulding County on April 22, 1923, the son of Virgil Eugene Cheatham and Maude Lackey Cheatham.

He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1943 and proudly served in the Pacific Theater with the 866th Aviation Engineer Battalion. He returned to Acworth in 1946, where he met his wife Mary Siniard.

He and Mary owned and operated Cheatham Appliance Repair for thirty-five years in Largo, Florida and were active members of First Baptist Church, Largo for many years.

They returned to Acworth in 1991 and built a house about 500 yards from where he was born. They loved coming back to Acworth, near family and old friends. He lived there until his death – truly full circle. After moving back to Acworth, they joined Tabernacle Baptist Church in Cartersville. They also became active in the American Legion Post #42 where for many years he was a member of the Honor Guard. They were also members of the Bartow Belles and Beaus square dance group.
