The Cairo Messenger, Friday, June 12, 1914
Mrs. Wimberly Passes Away
Last Saturday, June the 6th, at five o'clock, the Death Angel visited this home 
and took away this dear old grandmother and carried her away to a better land 
where she could dwell with her loved ones that she has longed to meet in that 
land of peace and rest.

This grandmother, being at the age of seventy six, and which she has lived and 
died in peace with each and everyone here on this earth and devoted her whole 
time in doing and serving her mighty Master that she has gone on to meet in the 
skies.

May the time come when her bereaved relatives shall meet her in Heaven on high.

She leaves to mourn her loss, five sons, one daughter, nineteen grandchildren, 
ten great grand children.

Oh! What a grand thing it will be if each and every one can follow the straight 
path that she has followed.

Mr. C. W. Wimberly, her oldest son has been clerk of the courts for thirty 
years or more and is in the office now at his old home town of Bainbridge.

Mr. J. D. Wimberly, the third oldest is and has been a well known farmer of old 
Decatur and Grady counties for the past thirty years.

This dear mother, grand and great grand mother had been on the sick list for 
two years and was moved to the home of her oldest son, Mr. C. W. Wimberly's 
about one year ago, where she could get the very best of care.  Two weeks ago 
she realized with the best of cheer that death was near and asked to be moved 
to her old home-stead on West street before she died.  She was moved as she 
wished, where her last moments were soon spent and she traveled away to meet 
her dear companion, who was J. T. Wimberly, who departed this life more than 
twenty years ago, after serving and fighting along with Stonewall Jackson and 
his men.  After the war he walked from Richmond to Bainbridge to be with his 
beloved family.  In a short time he was called home to his Master, and was laid 
to rest in the cemetery at Bainbridge by the Woodmen of the World and other 
loved ones -- and now she fills the vacant lot beside him.  In after years 
should troubles arise
To cloud the blue skies,
How bright will seem thro' memory's haze,
The happy, golden by-gone days.
Written by a heart broken grandson, O. J. Wimberly
