MRS. JAMES OAKLAND TIN8LEY.
An unusually large number of friends
and acquaintances throughout the State
and in the city of Richmond, especially
in tne first rresDyrerian unurcn, was
deeply grieved and "went away sorrow.
ful" when the news was flashed over the
wire that Mrs. James Garland Tlnsley
had departed this life.
Patty Winston Jones Tlnsley was born
at Hilly Farm, Hanover county, Virginia,
on May 30th, 1R43. Her parents were
I^aney and Martha Ann Watt Jones, one
of the fine old Virginia Christian families
for which Hanover county was so well
famed. In this home of refinement and
N OK THE SOUTH
hristiun training Mrs. Tlnsley grew to
womanhood.
Possessed of a naturally bouyant
ind vivacious spirit, she had a true con.
reptlon of life, its blessings and prlvl.
leges as well as its responsibilities.
When about sixteen years of age she
became deeply Interested in spiritual
matters with the result that she made
a most creditable profession of her faith
In Christ, and united with the old Pole
Green Church of her native county?a
church of historic fame, from which
many fine and noble characters have gone
to bless other churches and the world.
Prom the day on which she united with
the church to the end of her life she
continued to adorn with singular beauty
and fidelity the profession which she
made in early youth.
On February 26th, 1867, she was united
in marriage to Mr. James Garland Tinsley,
who had left the college walls of
Hampden-Sidney to join the Richmond
Howitzers, from which he had come at
the close of the war with honor and
courage to take up anew the battle of
life amid times and circumstances that
tried men's souls.
Of this happy union there remain the
devoted husband. James G. Tinsley. an
honored and influential Elder in the
First Presbyterian Church, Richmond,
Virginia, and eight children: Thomas
Garland Tinsley, an honored officer in
the First Presbyterian Church. Nashville.
Tenn.: Mrs. Sall'e Rutherfoord
(wife of J. C.) Miller, Huntington, W.
Vs.; Mrs. Martha Winston (wife of Ben
P.) Alsop; Mrs. Irene (wife of Ruther.
roordl Rose: Mrs. Margaret (wife of W.
V.) Moncure, of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Au.
gusta (wife of J. R.) Porter, Atlanta.
Ga.: Miss Claire and Miss L<enore Tinslev,
Richmond, Va., all of whom are active.
devoted, influential and honored
members of the Presbyterian churches
in the cities where they reside.
Tt is a singular fact that of all the
children and grandchildren, the death
of Mrs. TInsley Is the first break in this
family since the marriage In 1867.
For the past year or two Mrs. Tinsley
had not been in the best of health, but
her condition was not considered to be
in any way especially serious. Early in
the past summer, however, she became
quite ill. All that means and medical
skill and attention and efficient nursing
and devoted care of loving hands could
do was done for her comfort and restoration
to health. To such an extent did
these seem to be successful that she was
able to be taken on a special car to Blue
Ridge Summit, Pa., where it was thought
that the change of climate would be ben.
eficial to her. Almost immediately the
hopes of loved ones were greatly
brightened. But suddenly on August
12th, 1911, just after falling asleep with
her hand resting in and clasped by that
of her husband, to whom she had been
such a companion, she passed sweetly
and peacefully into the Celestial Home.

The funeral services were conducted
from the First Presbyterian Church,
Richmond, Va., on the following Sunday.
Although It was a hot summer day, a
large concourse of sorrowing and sympathetic
friends filled the church, and
accompanied the remains to beautiful
Hollywood, where the loved one was
laid to rest until the Resurrection
Morn.
These are but a few of the facts?a
mere outline? of the honored career of
this hospitable, capable, cultured, charming
woman, whose life was dedicated to
God and cnn?AcratAd tn hla Mrvlec SupVi
a life deserves a more extended notice
than this bare outline. And while it 1b
not well ever to lift aside the veil that
separates the sanctuary of the home, and
while there Is no desire in this account
[ October 25, 1911
to iutrude into that Holy of Holies?the
sucredness of the home?yet it la necessary
often for the good that can be
done to others, and the inspiration that
can be given to those living, to give an
estimate of the character and the reason
for its success and power as manifested
In the life.
As a wife, Mrs. Tinsley fitly illustrated
the Biblical picture of what a true wife
should be. Entering into that divinely
instituted relation as a young Christian
woman at a time in the history of the
State when courage and faith and sacri.
flee were needed to be exercised by all
classes, she brought to the assistance of
her husband such incentive and assist,
ance as made him "known in the gates
when he sitteth among the elders of the
land." The heart of her husband safely
trusted in her, and good she did him all
the days of her life. In the time of
disappointment she gave - the necessary
balm; in the hour of discouragement she
brought new inspiration. And the cheerful
heart, made so by strong faith in the
Unseen, brightened the hopes, and both
walked together to success.
As a mother, "her children rise up and
call her blessed." Blessed with a large
family, she gave them herself, and im
pressed upon them her beautiful character
and Bpirit of service. She trained
them in the fear and admonition of the
Tx>rd in the good "old-time" way, with
the result that she had the untold satisfaction
of seeing them all devoted mem.
hers of Christ's church, and her Rod
their God, her Bible their Bible. A
certain noted architect designed a
notable building. After his death a
tablet was placed in a certain position
with this inscription, "If you desire to
see his monument, look ahout you." The
best testimonial and evidence of the
worm ana cnaracter or Mrs. Tinsley arp
In these "children whom Thou hast
p'ven to me," for she taught them of
God. of CTirlBt and righteousness.
Mrs. Tinsley was a devoted and Influential
church member and worker.
She, with her husband, was one of the
founders of what Is now Mlzpah Presbyterian
Church In Highland Park. The
