Ariadne J. Bigbie was born in Schley county, Ga., August
5,1860, and departed this life November 27, 1889. She was my
niece, and I baptized her into the membership of Philippi
church, Schley county, Ga., July 12, 1879. She was married
in January 1881, to Prof. John Bigbie, with whom she
affectionately lived until her death at Coleman Station, Ga.
She was the mother of two children that she leaves behind in
this sinful world, but they are in the care of their father
and the deceased's   mother,   sister   Ariadne McClendon,
whose only child, sister Bigbie was, and she is therefore
inexpressibly bereaved in her old age-such sorrows bring us
apart to the desert place alone, beyond all human help if
not beyond human sympathy; we are alone with our sorrow
until Jesus comes into the desert place with us and gives us
the bread from heaven. She was an exceptionally good woman,
for I knew her from infancy, and above all she was a
Christian and was willing to die. She was a good child, a
good wife, a good member of the church and a good mother,
and has been taken from the evil to come. To the bereaved
mother and husband I would say, be comforted, she is at
rest; and the little children, may God give them favor and
may kind and gentle words keep them in right paths and the
blessed spirit lead them to Jesus.
