IN MEMORIAM OF MILDRED JANE TAYLOR, NEE MISS FARGARSON

The subject of the sketch, Sister Mildred Jane Taylor, nee Miss Fargarson, 
was born in Henry County, Georgia April the 10th, 1840 and was married to 
Mr. J.C. Taylor on October 5th, 1856. Bro. Taylor departed this life in 
December 1891, thus leaving her a widow 25 years ago. She followed her 
husband to the great beyond on October 18th, 1917 at the age of 77 years, 
six months and 8 days.

Sister Taylor joined the Missionary Baptist church 64 years ago at 
Beersheba, Henry County, Georgia, and lived a consistent christian life 
until her death. She was devoted to her church, true to her profession, to 
her god, her husband, children and all.

She was the mother of 11 children, two sons and nine daughters, all of whom 
lived to be grown but two. Three have died since growing up, this she leaves 
six living children, one son and five daughters.

Sister Taylor lived to see the fifth generation, a thing that is very 
unusual. She herself, was one; her children the second; her grandchildren 
the third; great grandchildren the fourth and one great great grandchild the 
fifth. Not many of us will live that long. Counting her children and all she 
leaves more than 100 descendants.

Her life was well lived; her record was a good one; her reward is sure. She 
is waiting now on the other shore for the rest of the family to come. She 
will be there to meet you when your feet touch the golden strand. Then take 
courage and press on in the christian life and meet her again in the land of 
immortality. Her former pastor, G.B. Boman
