Another Landmark Has Gone To the Great Beyond

At the age of 95 years, having lived a quiet, unpretentious life but one honest 
in act and intention and a devout Christian, Miss Nancy Stringfield died Sunday 
night about 7 o’clock after a short illness.  A few days ago Aunt Nancy 
suffered the rupture of a blood vessel of the head, the cause of which is 
unknown.  Her physical condition was so greatly weakened by the loss of blood, 
which continued for days to drip from her head she was not able to withstand 
the strain, and quietly breathed her last Sunday night.

In her humble, unique life Aunt Nancy was held in high esteem among a very 
large number of friends in this city and section.  Miss Callie Stringfield, a 
niece, was her constant guardian and protector and her faithfulness to this 
good woman because of the bond of affection that existed between them, has won 
for herself much praise.  She especially has the sympathy of friends in this 
bereavement.  The deceased had for years been a consistent member of the 
Methodist church and as long as she was able was a regular attendant at all 
services.

The body was laid to rest yesterday afternoon in the cemetery near the 
Methodist church.  The services were conducted by Rev. E.W. Anderson.

A well-spent life has been closed on earth, truly a good woman called to her 
eternal reward.

To the bereaved ones, their many friends extend sympathy.

Stringfield

Miss Nancy Stringfield was born in South Carolina January 1st, 1816 and died in 
Butler, Ga., Dec. 17, 1911, being nearly 96 years of age.  When about twenty 
years old, she gave her heart to God and consecrated her life to her blessed 
Savior, uniting with the Methodist church.  The writer was her pastor for two 
years 1904-1905 at Butler.  I called to see her often and after reading a 
lesson and singing a song “How Firm A Foundation” or “Where Jesus Is ‘Tis 
Heaven”, her face would shine with the radiance of heaven, because the love of 
God was shed abroad in her heart.  She often had a foretaste of the joys in the 
Celestial City.  As she grew in years, she grew in grace, was ripe and ready 
for the summons when it came, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”  She was a 
pilgrim here, her conversation was in Heaven.  She had checked through to her 
Heavenly home.

A few months before her departure she had some bright visions and wonderful 
revelations, as earth was receding and Heaven was in full view, her precious 
Savior appeared to her as the chiefest among ten thousand and altogether 
lovely.   Her niece was with her to the last.  Nothing could be more beautiful 
and sublime than her devotion to her.  Heaven will richly reward her.  
Yes, “Aunt Nancy” as she was called, is at rest in Heaven.

J.S. Lewis
Her former pastor
