Death of Mrs. D. A. Wiggins

Our community was saddened by the death of Mrs. Anna Wiggins, who 
died January 6th, 1913.

Mrs. Wiggins was fifty-two years old.  She leaves a husband and
six children three boys and three girls.  She has lived in this
community more than thirty years, and all who knew her was her 
friend.

She wa a member of the Baptist Church since girlhood.  She was a
true, noble christian of the highest type.

She died of heart failure, after months of suffering.  She bore 
her sickness without a murmur.  God's will seemed to be her will.
She was cheerful 'till the very last.  She took a hearty laugh the
day before she died.

"Miss Anna" as we all called her was a favorite among the young
people.  She enjoyed visiting and being among her friends.  She
always brought sunshine into the homes she visited.  She made a
good, kind, congenial wife and mother, and will be greatly missed
by her loved ones.

We cannot bring her back, but let's try to live so as to meet her
in a better world "not made with hands" but planned by One who
knoweth all things, and doeth all things for our good.

May a lasting influence of this good woman's life serve to help us 
live better, nobler lives.
