Mrs. Emmeline Hale Dead

Mrs. Emmeline Hale was born in Newton county, Ga., Jan. 2, 1821, and "fell 
asleep" Jan17, 1903 in the home of her son, Bro. R.W. Hale at Jolly, Pike Co. 
Ga. Her maiden name was Miss Reynolds. When quite a little girl her parents 
died. In 1841 she was married to Mr. Hale who soon after moved to Pike Co. Ga., 
and finally settled near to what afterwards became Jolly. Mr. Hale, her 
husband, has been dead some twenty or thirty years.

There were ten children born to this union, five of whom are still living. They 
are: R.W. Hale, Pike Co., Mrs. S.F. Borders and Mrs. Ella Drewry, of Griffin, 
Ga., Mrs. M.A. Moon and Mrs. W.W. Trammell, of Arkansas.

Sister Hale was a good woman, she was converted and joined the Baptist church 
when thirteen years old, of which she remained a faithful member until the Lord 
took her away.

During the latter part of her life she was physically infirm and was not able 
to attend church, notwithstanding that she ever remained true to her Lord. She 
awaited the time of his coming. In her last illness she expressed herself as 
being ready to depart. The Gospel of Christ was the power of God into her 
salvation and her solace as He passed through the valley and shadow of death. 
After much suffering, as quietly as an infant falls asleep on its mother’s 
breast, she went away out of the flesh to her reward. The blessed hope of an 
inheritance incorruptible was to as an anchor sure ans steadfast upon which she 
reclined amidst her affliction and troubles of life and at the gateway of 
eternity.

"How blessed the righteous when He dies
When sinks the weary soul to rest
How mildly beamed the closing eyes!
How gently heaves the expiring breast!"

Our sister has gone and her “works do follow her.” The sweet aroma of her life 
will linger with her children as the fragrance of sweet flowers to bless their 
pilgrimage here. She left us as she had lived her faith in God. Our deepest 
sympathy is with the bereft ones.

On the morning of the 18th inst. in the Methodist at Jolly in the presence of a 
large concourse of friends and relatives the writer preached her funeral and 
then her remains were interred in the family cemetery there to await the 
resurrection morn.

Respectfully,
C.V. Weathers
Zebulon, Ga., Jan 21, 1903
