The Schley County News  Thursday, July 11, 1889
REUNITED    
Mrs. Ann Askew, relict(?) of the late Augustus Askew, died last Friday of 
natural decay, being eighty years of age.  The funeral took place Saturday from 
the Methodist church, of which she had long been a consistant member, and was 
attended by a large concourse of friends and relatives.  Beneath the beautiful 
evergreens in the little cemetery south of town, the remains were laid by the 
side of those of her late lamented husband, who had gone only a few years 
before.

Mrs. Askew was the mother of Mrs. Freeman Dixon and grand mother of our 
townsmen Claud and Eugene Dixon; she was the oldest member of the Methodist 
church and was among the earliest settlers of this section, coming here with 
her husband from Green, before Schley was organized.  Together she and her 
husband had climbed the sunny slope of youth, together they had glided down the 
shady turn of age, on together they had passed the misty portals of three score 
years and ten in life's ever varying pathway, separated only at the end of 
their journey by a few brief years.  Again they were united in that home beyond 
the tide.
