A Good Woman Gone

At her home in Butler on Monday evening last occurred the death of Mrs. Monk, 
the affectionate wife of Prof. W.C. Monk, after an illness of several months 
from consumption.  She was a most excellent lady and leaves a devoted husband, 
several children besides many friends and relatives to mourn their loss.  We 
are unable to give full particulars of the life and character of this good lady 
in our present issue, but hope to be able to say more hereafter.

Monk – Died at her home in Butler, Taylor County, Ga., Nov. 17th 1890, of 
chronic bronchitis, Mrs. Flora V. Monk, wife of W.C. Monk and daughter of L.M. 
and E.K. Vimont.  She was born May 24th 1847, at Millersburg, Bourbon Co., 
Kentucky; was married June 29th 1871.  She was given to God in infancy by her 
Christian mother, who was and is still a consistent member of the Presbyterian 
church, but she never gave herself to God until a few days before her 
departure, when she had the pastor of the M.E. Church South, the church of her 
husband, come and receive her into the church after giving one of the brightest 
experiences of pardon and full acceptance with the Father.  The few days left 
her upon earth were spent in giving advice to husband and children  and other 
relatives and friends.  She was the noblest of women, the most devoted wife and 
mother.  She did every duty of social and domestic life with love and 
faithfulness.  Her faith in God was preeminent.  She was blessed in her Bible 
study, for she always went to the Bible with an honest desire to learn the 
truth.  Through her long sickness she did not murmur, but was resigned to the 
will of Him “who knoweth and doeth all things well.”  Many God give us all that 
sustaining and comforting grace which rendered the subject of this obituary 
notice so calm and quiet under the distressing disease.  She leaves a husband, 
son, three little daughters, mother, sister, and brother, besides many other 
relatives and friends.
