The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 20, 1912
A Good Woman Gone
Mrs. Jonah Andrews died at her home near Beachton, Grady county, on the 8th day 
of November 1912.  Her remains were laid to rest at New Ochlocknee church, her 
pastor Rev. M. A. Wilson conducting burial service.

Sister Andrews was raised near Columbus, Ga., and moved to Thomas county near 
Boston, where she lived ten years, then moved near Beachton, where she was 
married to T. B. Andrews and lived there until her death.  She leaves her aged 
husband, one sister, Miss Mary Bowman, one son, Mr. Lonny Andrews, with a 
number of loving relatives and friends to mourn her death.  She was a member of 
the Baptist church for thirty three years and she was a consecrated worker in 
her church.  May we all be inspired by the influence of her sweet life that 
when we are all called to go, our work will be as well done as hers. Her going 
was a great shock to us and to her community.  Her church pastor and family 
feel that we have suffered a distinct loss, but our loss is her glorious and 
eternal gain.  May the God of our salvation give comfort to the broken-hearted 
husband and bereaved relatives and friends, for why should we sorrow as those 
who have no hope, now she hath no sorrow at all for she is:

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love o'er-shadowed,
Sweetly her soul shall rest.
M. A. Wilson, her pastor
