Jackson Argus – Week of March 12, 1896
Mrs. Emma Graddy Bankston

On the evening of January 16th,1896 after two weeks of intense suffering, the
patient gentle spirit of Mrs. Emma Graddy Bankston passed from earth to Heaven.

She was a faithful member of the Methodist church at Jackson, Ga., and an active
worker in the woman’s missionary society.  Possessing a perfect hope that no
cloud burst could dim; charity that “suffereth long and is kind”; humility that
lies at the Master’s feet.  We know that the transition, while sad to us who
miss her from her accustomed walks of life, should be consoling and comforting
when we feel that she has been disrobed of every habiliment of sorrow, and her
brow is now encircled by the chaplet of everlasting joy.  Therefore,

Resolved, That in the death of sister Bankston our society has sustained an
irreparable loss; whose influence for good we cherish with fond recollections,
and whose example shall even be held worthy of emulation.

While our church has lost a zealous member who never grew weary in the Masters
services, we bow in humble submission to the will of our Savior, who has
prepared a place for her, knowing that He willeth all things good to those who
love and obey Him.

That we as member of the Missionary society tender the bereaved mother and sons
our heartfelt sympathy.

That these resolutions be published in the Wesleyan Christian Advocate and the
Jackson Times and Argus.

	She rests from her labors.
	Her works do follow her.

Miss Eva Sassnett, Pres.
Miss J. H. Miller
Mrs. Y. A. Wright, Committee
