MRS. JAMES OAKLAND TINSLETAn
unusually large number of friends
and acquaintances throughout the State
and in the city of Richmond, especially
In the First Presbyterian Church, was
deeply grieved and "went away sorrow,
ful" when the news was flashed over the
wire that Mrs. James Oarland Tinsley
had departed this life. ,
n?u.r T rrii ? i
i txuy >v liiaitui iiuucs i msiey wno uurii
at Hilly Farm, Hanover county, Virginia, <
011 May 30th, 1843. Her parents were f
Laney and Martha Ann Watt Jones, one i
of the fine old Virginia Christian families i
for which Hanover county was so well f
famed. In tills home of refinement and i
H OF THE SOOTH
hristian training Mrs. Tiusley grew to
womanhood.
Possessed of a naturally bouyant
and vivacious si)irit, she had a true con.
[ option of life, its blessings and privileges
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
fireen 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.
From 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 2f>th, 1807. 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
thr 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. Tinslev, an
honored and influential Elder in the
First Presbyterian Church, Richmond.
Virginia, and eight children: Thomas
ftarland Tinsley, an honored officer in
Pie First Presbyterian Church. Vashrille.
Tenn.: Mrs. Sall'e Rutherfoord
(wife of J. C.l Miller, Huntington, ?.
Va.: Mrs. Martha Winston (wife of Ren
P.) Alsop: Mrs. Irene (wife of Ruther.
(oordl Rose: Mrs. Margaret (wife of W.
\.l Moncure, of Richmond. Va.: Mrs. Augusta
(wife of J. R.I Porter. Atlanta,
[la.: Miss Claire and Miss T^enore Tinslev.
Richmond, Va., all of whom are active.
devoted, influential and honored
members of the Presbyterian churches
in the cities where they reside.
It is a singular fact that of all the
children and grandchildren, the death
of Mrs. Tinslev 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
tlie past summer, however, she became
iiuite ill. All that means and medical
skill and attention and efficient nursing
and devoted care of loving hands could
to 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 heen
Buch a companion, she passed sweetly
and peacefully into the Celestial Home.
"God's finger touched her and she
slept."
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 ar? but a few of the facts?a
mere outline? of the honored career of
his hospitable, capable, cultured, charm
in& wuiiiuii, wnose me was neuicateo to
jocI and consecrated to his service. Such
a life deserves a more extended notice
than this bare outline. And while it is
not well ever to lift aside the veil that
teparates the sanctuary of the home, and
while there Is no desire In this account
[ October 23, 1911
lo intrude into that Holy ot Holies?the
sacrcdness of the home?yet it is 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. Tinsiey fitly illustrated
the Hiblical picture of what a true wife
lin len inpim* Jnfn
instituted relation as a young Christian
woman at a time in the history of the
State when courage and faitli and sacri.
flee were needed to he exercised by all
c lasses, she brought to the assistance of
her husband such incentive and assist,
ance as made him "known in the gates
when lie 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 impressed
upon them her beautiful character
and spirit of service. She trained
them in the fear and admonition of the
T*ord in the good "old-time" way, with
he result that she had the untold satis,
faction of seeing them all devoted mem.
hers of Christ's church, and her Clod
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 about you." The
best testimonial and evidence of the
worth and character of Mrs. Tinsley aro
in these "children whom Thou hast
F'vpn to me," for she taught them of
Hod. of Christ and righteousness.
Mrs. Tinsley was a devoted and in.
fluential church member and worker.
She, with her husband, was one of the
founders of what is now Mizpah Presbyterian
Church in Highland Park. The
