A Lovely Woman
Has Qone to Rest
Mrs. J, T. Wade was bom in
Tabot county, March’ 6, 1876 hnd
‘Fell asleep in Jesus” April 11,1924
at Reynolds, Ga.
She was the 'wife of a Baptist
minister who preceded her to the
grave twelve years ago. Five chil
dren blessed this union, namely:
Misses Cora, Jessie, Kate Wade, and
MessrJ. Mercer and Graham Wade.
Also five sisters and two brothers:
Mrs. J. A. Wilson, Butler; Mrs. W-
X. Morgan, Junction City; Mrs. J.
J. McDaniel, Dawson; Mrs. E. L.
Edwards, Thomaston; Mrs. J. H.
Jones, Columbus; and Mr. R. B.
Spinks, Howard; Mr. J. B. Spinks,
Junction City; all of which survive
her, with a wide circle of friends
both ood and young are left to
mourn her passing.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Baptist church . in Rey
nolds by Rev. J. A. J. Dumas. The
nephews were pall bearers. Inter
ment at Horeb cemetery. The floral
offerings were the largest in many
years which attested the esteem
and love in which she was held.
She was a woman of beautiful
character and helped many.She was
not one who cared for the pleasures
of the world, but her highest joy
was found in her own home where
she was an ideal wife and mother.
She was always ready with a help
ing hand to do what she could in
everything that was good.
She was a devoted member of the
Baptist church. We shall all miss
her smiling face and cheering words
and good deeds, which were charac
teristic of her every-day life. Tho
r.he has left us, we shall never for
get her who in life did so much to
help and comfort. We feel that
when she fell asleep to wake, no
more in this life and reached the ha
ven of rest that it was said to her:
“Well done, good and faithful serv
ant.”
Say not that she is dead who day by
day
Looked at the future with a
cheerful soul;
Who only yesterday was heard to
say,
“The road gets better as it nears
the goal.’,’ •
Who loved the flowers, the moun
tains and the sky;
Who laughed with little children in
their glee
A happy loving spirit cannot die
Say not that she is dead, it cannot
be.
S'aynot that she is dead who lived
and thought
Who served her people with a
kindly wit, .
Whose face the sun from hills etern
al caught,
Who treasured things immortal in
her heart. . '
Life may be silenced and hands laid
to rest.
Feet cease their journeys oyer
land and sea
But life itself goes on through
change and test,
Sav not that she is dead it cannot
‘ be. "

BELOVED REYNOLDS LADY
CALLED TO HER
REWARD.
The town was made sad on last
Monday evening, when Jit was learn
ed that Mrs. W. T. Gostin has pass
ed away.
Her health had been impaired
for many months, though no appar
ent change in her condition until
about nine o’clock Monday night
when she called to her husband^jmd
informed him that she was not feel
ing as well as usual. Soon after this
announcement she gave a sudden
gasp and her soul quietly winged its
way onward to “That City not made
with hands,” to receive the reward
of a' beautiful life well spent.
Mrs. Gostin had been a resident
of Reynolds for a number of years,
moving here frqm Butler. She was
about 68 years of age, born and
rieared in Taylor county, and throu
ghout these years was held in high
est esteem by a large circle of
friends. Before her marriage she
was Miss Lee Booth, daughter of
the late Mr. Burton Booth of this
county,an d a sister of Mr. G. S.
Booth, of Butler. She was a member
of the Methodist church, and was an
excellent Christian lady, a good
neighbor, a friend to every on^ a
kind and loving wife.
The surviving husband, brother and
other relatives have the .sympathy
of many friends in their hour of
sorrow.
The remains of Mrs. Gostin were
taken to Union church, north of
Butler, Tuesday afternoon, where
funeral services and interment oc
curred.
Among those from a distance at
tending the funeral were Mrs. J. L.
Herring and son, of Tiftpn, and Mr.
Robert Johnson of Columbus.
IN MEMORY OF
MR. DOVARD WINDHAM
When God said “It is enough” the
spirit of Mr. Dovard Windham went
home to the God who’ gave it. De
spite all that loving hands aided by
medical" skill could do he departed
this life Sept. 22, 1923. In the hope
of regaining his health he under
went an operation at Oglethorpe In
firmary, Macon, where he lingered in
suffering until released by death.
Mr. Windham was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. W. Windham, of Pan
handle District. He lived a consist
ent member of the church from the
time of his joining till he answered
the roll call up yonder. In young
manhood he was happily married to
Miss Ruby Kilby. To this union two
children were bom one of whom
died in infancy.
His friends were numbered by his
acquaintances. With tireless brain he
wrought to promote the general
good; with sympathetic spirit he
•tried to lift the burdens from the
shoulders of the oppressed. In ever-
wideneing circles his influence will
be felt and deeper and yet deeper
the tender love his Jriends have bom
for him will sink into their hearts-
Measured by that standard, he who
sleeps today bears with him in the
tomb a legacy so rare even envy is
compelled to pay the tribute of ad
miration.
In the life of Mr. Windham the
saving power of Jesus Christ was
daily manifested. It was his power
that kept him unmoved and stead
fast amidst the trying scenes and
changes incidental to every-day life
The sustaining presence of Christ
enabled him with unwavering faith
to endure without complaining the
days of suffering and to step undis
mayed, into the valley and shadow
of death.
Impressive funeral service was
conducted at the home by his pastor
Rev. W. E. Hightower, after which
the casket was gently borne by lov
ing, sympathetic hands to the hearse
and conveyed to Crowell’s cemetery
for interment. _ .
He is survived by his wife, one
son six years of age, his parents and
a host of relatives and friends to
mourn their loss.
