THE ADVERTISER, FT. GAINES, AUG 27, 1890
DR. R.S. WIMBELRY IS NOT, FOR THE LORD HAS TAKEN HIM.

BORN IN HOUSTON COUNTY GEORGIA, MARCH 13, 1819, HE "FELL ON SLEEP" IN 
BLUFFTON, CLAY, GEORGIA AUGUST 20TH 1890.  FOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS OUR 
BROTHER WAS A CONSISTENT MEMBER OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SOUTH.  HE 
WAS FAITHFUL AS A CHRISTIAN DEVOTED AS A HUSBAND AND FATHER, HONEST AS A MAN A 
TRUE CITIZEN--HIGHLY RESPECTED BY ALL.  

FOR SOME TIME DR. WIMBERLY HAD BEEN A GREAT SUFFERER BUT QUIETLY AND 
PEACEFULLY, HE BORE HIS LAST SUFFERINGS WITH GREAT PATIENCE AND CHRISTIAN 
RESIGNATION.  DR. WIMBERLY GREW OLD GRACEFULLY AND AS HE NEARED THE END OF HIS 
LONG AND USEFUL LIFE HIS FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES GREW STRONGER AND HIS HOPE 
BRIGHTER.  

JUST BEFORE HE DIED HE SAID TO HIS SON'S; WIFE TELL MY BOY ALL IS WELL.  HE 
REST WELL AT THE END OF A LONG PILGRAMAGE.  

MAY THE LORD BLESS HIS FOUR SURVIVING SONS AND BRING THEM FINALLY TO THE HOME 
OF THE GOOD WHERE PARTING IS NO MORE.

J.O. LANGSTON
