Newspaper
"The LaFayette Sun" - June 16, 1909:
Mrs. Winnie Higgins.
She was a daughter of Benjamin and Eliza Gammill and was born in Harris 
County, Ga., and there resided until the death of her parents in 1892, when 
she came into our family, as she was a sister of my wife, and made our home 
her home until July 1900 when she became the second wife of the late S. G. 
Higgins a well-known and highly respected citizen of Chambers County. This 
identified her with one of the best families in the county, and with him she 
lived happily until his death in 1907, when she left her home and again 
became a member of our family until her death, which occurred last Friday 
evening at 6 o'clock, June 11, 1909. This last illness lasted 7 weeks during 
which time all was done for her by physicians and friends that could be 
done, but she had run her race and must go "the way of all the earth." She 
died at the age of 75 and was buried by the side of her husband in the 
Higgins Cemetery, near Five Points, Chambers County, Ala., in the presence 
of a goodly number of friends and relatives.Four of the five surviving step-
children gathered around her casket and with tears manifested that death had 
severed a strong tie that existed between them. When quite young she made a 
profession of religion and died a member of the Primitive Baptist Church at 
Mount Hickory, Chambers County. Twice during her last illness she became 
perfectly happy, and with her weak voice, gave praises to God to whom she 
has gone and in whom her spirit rests until the resurrection morn, when soul 
and body will be reunited and housed in the paradise of God.We take this 
occasion to extend to our neighbors and friends our hearty thanks for their 
faithful service and tender sympathy during our trouble. 
- J. T. Satterwhite.
