Mary A Wrinkle was born in Tennessee, December 19, 1829, and died at the  home  of
her son near Nemo, Mo., July 12, 1909, age 79 years, 7 months and 2 days. She  was
married to John Wrinkle, August 1, 1864.

To this union nine children were given, four boys and five girls and all but three
girls are living. The children living are: Dr. TD Wrinkle, Pittsburgh, Mo.; J.  H.
Wrinkle, Halfway, Mo.; L.G. Wrinkle, Pittsburgh, Mo.:  S.T.  Wrinkle,  Nemo,  Mo,:
Mrs. Florence Inks, Bolivar, Mo.; Mrs. Clemmie Lindsey, Urbana,  Mo.  The  husband
died in Jauary of 1899.

Deceased was converted in 1861, and united with the  Bethel  church  at  Nemo,  in
1880, and remained a member until death. She enjoyed attending church and when her
affliction was to much that she could not got she asked that services be  held  in
her home.

The last two years of her life she was in bed most of the time and often spoke  of
how necessary it was to be ready, when the  summons  comes  and  of  her  hope  in
heaven.

She leaves six of the family and goes to be with four in the “Home Over There”.

May the six here be ready when the summons  comes  so  that  the  family  will  be
unbroken around the throne of God, where parting is no more.

The funeral services were conducted by Bethel Church, Thursday, July 22 at 10:00am
by Rev. J.W. Alexander, pastor of the Baptist Church of  Bolivar,  Mo.,  and  Rev.
J.T. Ferguson of Nemo, Mo; after which her body was laid to  rest  in  the  Bethel
Cemetery.

“Oh, how sweet to be in that beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on out lips and with harps in hands,
To meet one another again.”

J.W. Alexander
