The Christian Index, Jan. 27, 1881
JONES, Mrs. Ann B.--The subject of this obituary notice was born in the county 
of Columbia, in this State, some time during the year 1804, and departed this 
life on the 7th day of June, 1880, in the 77th year of her age.

In early life she received strong religious impressions, but did not act upon 
them until after her marriage to Mr. Anderson, of Augusta, when she and her 
husband both joined the First Baptist Church in that city, and were baptized on 
the 25th day of March, 1827 by Rev. Jas. Shannon.  She removed with her husband 
to Sparta in the year 1841, and was dismissed by letter from the church above 
named in April 1841.  She remained a zealous and faithful member of the church, 
however, until the time of her death, with membership in the Baptist church in 
Augusta, Sparta, Madison, Atlanta and Decatur, where she was beloved and 
respected by all.

The writer was well acquainted with sister Jones, and knew her to be an 
intelligent, consistent and devoted disciple of the Lord, and a kind, 
affectionate and amiable friend, faithful in the various relations of life.  
Only a short time before her spirit departed, she desired of a minister that 
special prayer should be offered in behalf of an erring friend and relative, 
and stated that she was submissive to God's will; and when the dreaded summons 
finally came, she calmly went to her rest, sleeping sweetly in the Lord after 
weary years of her earthly service.  
So fades a summer cloud away.
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;
So gently shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
John B. Stewart, Committee.
