Mrs. William Mitchell

Mrs. William Mitchell was born in Philadelphia, Pa., January 9, 1852 and died 
in Talbotton, Ga., December 11, 1907.

When a mere child she came to Georgia and spent the remainder of her life here –
 a large part of it being in Talbot County and for the past two years in this 
community.

She was a devoted member of the Episcopal Church, and exemplified in her daily 
walk her Christian profession.

Measured by any standard she was one of the most unselfish and self-denying 
women I have ever known.  Her loving ministrations knew no sect or creed.  
Wherever there was suffering humanity, there she was found.  No slight 
indisposition of her own, nor extreme conditions of weather were allowed to 
interfere with her errands of mercy.  The more destitute the condition of the 
sufferer, the more imperative she felt it her duty to respond.

At the incarnation of life, to watch with others through weary months of 
sickness and hope deferred, to sooth the dying and clothe the dead for burial – 
these were her kindly and Christly offices.  And so we were often reminded that

“Kind hearts are more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood.”

We emphasize this phase of her character because the light constantly fell on 
it.  But she was bright and cheerful to a wonderful degree.  In the company of 
the well and strong and young she was a veritable sunbeam.

The bereft husband and devoted sons and daughter are not left comfortless – 
they know she has found a home in the celestial city, for the Bible tells us:

“For such is the Kingdom of God.”

M.H.J.
