The Cairo Messenger, Friday, April 10, 1914
A Sad Death
Mrs. J. D. Wimberly died after a four days illness with pneumonia on Thursday 
of last week and was buried at Tired Creek Church on Saturday.

This is peculiarly a sad dispensation in view of the fact that her husband, Mr. 
J. D. Wimberly, was recently carried to the State Sanitarium for treatment and 
on account of his wife.  Mr. Wimberly has been a prominent and valued citizen 
of Decatur and Grady counties, all his life and no man stands higher as a 
Christian gentleman than he and his life has been devoted to his family and he 
has always stood for the best interest of his fellow man.  After his 
unfortunate breakdown physically and mentally, the entire responsibility and 
care of the large family devoted on his good wife and therefore her sudden 
taking away seems a strange Providence when viewed sadly from a human 
standpoint.  There are eight surviving children, three girls and five boys all 
more or less dependent except the two oldest boys, the eldest being Gordon who 
has been living in Richmond, Va., for several years.  He will take with him to 
Richmond the two oldest girls, Pearl and Ruby.  The youngest girl will be cared 
for by her uncle, Mr. C. W. Wimberly of Bainbridge.  The boys will continue at 
the home of their farm near Tired Creek Church, devoting themselves to making a 
crop where it is hoped they will soon be joined by their father, who is 
improving slowly.

Mrs. Wimberly was a consecrated Christian, a member of the Baptist church for 
years and her life of devotion to husband and children will ever be cherished 
as a sweet remembrance by them.

The Messenger joins the many friends of this bereaved family in deepest 
sympathy and commends them to the tender care of the all wise God.
