Eatonton Messenger Sep. 1, 1916
	On August 22, 1916, the death angel visited the home of Mr. Alex Pinkerton and
bore away the sweet spirit of his devoted wife, Bessie.
	She was born the 31st of Dec. 1875, and was the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Ben Hawkins. In her childhood days she joined the Methodist church of which she
has been a true and loyal member. For a number of years she was organist at
Ararat church, where she was a member. After her marriage to Mr. Pinkerton her
membership was moved to St. Paul.
	After a few weeks of severe suffering, in all of which her Christian faith
sustained her, this gentle, patient, sweet spirited pure saint quietly slipped
away from earth to heaven to be forever with her Lord.
	Those who knew her best loved her most. Her unselfish service for others, her
faithfulness to her friends, her refined gracious manner and her deathless
devotion to her husband and children, mother and father, and all her dear ones,
made it impossible for her to die. She still lives in the hearts of those that
knew her and her unselfishness and the life she led will never be forgotten by
her loved ones left behind.
	She leaves three little children, Thelma, Benjamin and Charlie, her husband,
seven sisters, four brothers, a father and mother and many relatives and friends
to mourn their loss. May the good Lord comfort them in these sad hours.
					One Who Loved Her
