The Camilla Enterprise Mar 23, 1961
Obituary of Amanda L. Crosby Oxendine as written on page 2 of "The Camilla 
Enterprise" dated 23 Mar 1961.  Camilla, Georgia.   
Suffering declining health for the past several years, Mrs. J. E. Oxendine, age 
74, entered Mitchell County Hospital early last week in serious condition and 
died there late Saturday night.  Funeral services were held at three o'clock 
Monday afternoon at Camilla Methodist Church with the Rev. Orman Sloat, pastor, 
officiating.  Interment was in Sunrest Cemetery with Bramlett Funeral Home in 
charge of arrangements.  Mrs. Oxendine was the former Miss Amanda Crosby, 
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. "Monk" Crosby, and was born and reared in 
Mitchell County.  For many years she was a faithful and devoted member of the 
Camilla Methodist Church.  She is a past president of the Womans Missionary 
Society, now termed WSCS, and taught a Sunday School class for some years.  
Members of Camilla Methodist Church will remember her best for her work back 
during the depression years of 1929 and 1930 when the members were building the 
current structure and money was scarce with which to do it.  She and Mrs. O. G. 
Swindle Sr., were named by the church to go among the members and friends of 
the church seeking funds and they were dubbed "The Money Twins," a nickname 
that stuck through the years.  She was a member of the Camilla Garden Club 
before ill health limited all activities.  She possessed unusual creative and 
artistic ability and was called on to assist with decorations at many social 
events in recent years.  Survivors include her husband, J. E. Oxendine, and two 
sisters, Mrs. C. R. Mathews and Miss Bessie Crosby, both of Sylvester.
