@ MRS. JOHN W'GILL
| L
HAD MANY THRILLING EXPE
- RIENCES DURING CIVIL WAR.
WAS 78 YEARS OF AGE.
A remarkable and useful earthly ca
reer was ended when the spirit of Mrs.
John McGill, released from a suffering
body, went out into eternity from her
home at Parrott on the afternoon of
July 18th. Funeral services Tuesday
morning were attended by a very
large gathering at Macedomia church,
where for years the deceased had been
a bright and shining example of loy
alty to the teachings of the Christ.
The impressive service was conducted
by her pastor, Rev. W. W. Mabry.
Mrs. McGill was 78 years of age.
She was born and reared in South
Carolina, removing to Georgia in her
early life. She lived for years in Web
ster county, making hosts of friends
who sorrow with those of this com
munity over her passing away. Mrs.
McGill was first married to Mr. Silas
‘Windsor, who gave his life for his
country in the war between the states.
‘Her second marriage was to Mr. John
McGill, who received serious wounds
in the war, from which he never re
covered though he lived a serene and
happy life for many years after the
struggle.
All who visited in the home of this
honored couple felt the uplift of their
devoted lives given in service and
words of cheer to all who found shel
ter beneath their hospitable roof. The
sick and sorrowing found in Mr. and
Mrs. McGill unfailing friends and help
ers, After the death of her husband
Mrs. McGill was tenderly cared for in
the home of her brother-in-law, Mr.
W. T. McGill, where her gentle pres
ence was a benediction. In all the
years of her residence with them and
in he last illness Mr. and Mrs. McGill
and their children were devoted in their
attentions, making her the center of
loving thought and constant acts of
kindness.
Mrs. McGill had many thrilling ex
periences during the war. For two
days and nights she was between the
fighting lines near Aiken, S. C. When
the northern army captured that city
all the lights in her home were shot
out and the house was stripped of
everything that could be carried off,
not a, morsel of food being left for the
inmates. The yankees filled the well
with rocks and pieces of rails thus de
priving the family of drinking water.
Mrs. McGill always said that God sav
ed her from harm through all those
perilous days and her faith in an over
ruling providence did not waver
through all the vicissitudes of a long
life. Her strong character was a beacon
light to all about her when storms of
trial threatened and clouds gathered
Her wonderful influence was felt not
only in this section but in other com
munities blessed by her presence.
Her children and grandchildren
have a rich legacy in the life and
works of this remarkable woman, who
was always a safe guide and wise
iccunsellor. She was diligent and frugal
kind-hearted and charitable minister
‘ing in an unostentatious Way to the
comfort and nceds of all about her.
She came to the end of her pilgrimage
with a firm trust and “the peace that
passeth understanding.”
Mrs. McGill is survived by one sis
ter, Mrs. Arch McGill, Lake Butler,
Fla, and a number of nieces and
nephews in Georgia and South Caro
lina, amopg whom is Mrs. Lella
Brown, of Wagner, S. C.
