Death Date Sunday, April 21, 1895 (NK)

DIED  

Mrs. J. W. Mashburn was born June 6, 1829, and died April 21, 1895, at the 
home of her son-in-law, Mr. Tom Hanley, five miles from Rochelle.  She was 
married to John W. Willcox, September 13, 1846, who lived a few years, leaving 
her with four small children.  She was married to Rev. J. W. Mashburn 
September 12, 1854, who died in November, 1882.  They lived  very happily 
together thirty-eight years; God blessed their union with eight children, 
seven of whom are still living, her daughter, Mrs Hanley, having died just one 
week previous to her death.  She was sick only a few days but endured her 
affliction patiently and submissively as only a child of God can.  She had 
been a consistent member of the Baptist church for many years.  Even in old 
age and weakness she filled her place at prayer meeting and Sunday School, and 
her presence was an inspiration to her pasor and fellow Christians.  Her seat 
was never vacant without a cause.  She joined the Ladies' Missionary and Aid 
Society some months ago, and made a devoted member until her death.

In her death the church and society loses a faithful member, the children a 
devoted mother and the community a great friend.  We can only bow in humble 
submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and rejoice in the 
precious thought of meeting her again in the Christians' home in glory.  While 
the home is darkened by her death, yet her love ones do not mourn as those who 
have no hope, but they expect to meet her again

    "Oh how sweet it will be in that beautiful land
    So free from all sorrow and pain
    With songs on our lips and harps in our hands,
    To meet one another again."

Ladies Missionary and Aid Society, Rochelle, Georgia.
