Mrs. McCormick Neal Dead

The friends of Mrs. Ella V. Neal nee Dickson will be pained to learn of her 
death which occurred at her home in McIntosh, Fla., at 11:15 o’clock p.m., Nov. 
8th.

She was born in Talbot County May 21st 1854.  At the early age of fifteen years 
she consecrated her life to God by uniting with the Baptist church.  She was 
married to McCormick Neal, and moved with him to Florida during the winter of 
1886.

Since coming among us she has endeared herself to every heart.  Her whole life 
has been one of love and sacrifice.  A more devoted wife never lived, and she 
has proven a mother indeed to her two orphaned nieces.  She came to us a 
healthy, beautiful woman; scattering sunshine in every home, comforting the 
sorrows of others and giving a helping hand wherever there was need.  No 
sacrifice was too great for her.  Her tender ministrations and bright loving 
ways were felt wherever there was sickness or suffering, and while going on her 
holy missions for others, her own loved ones were never forgotten.

For several years her health has been failing, but we did not think she would 
so soon be taken from us.  During her last illness she suffered the most 
excruciating pain, but never a word of complaint or impatience passed her 
lips.  Her whole life has been such a bright Christian example that we can only 
exclaim, “One more added to the happy host of the redeemed in heaven.”  She was 
laid to rest in McIntosh cemetery.
