ELIZABETH JANE WADE WASHINGTON

Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Washington 

Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Washington, age 96 years and six months, died Thursday, 
June 1.  Her husband preceded her to the grave more than fifteen years ago. 
Four of her eleven children survive her, Mrs. T.J. Wade, Mrs. Delia Turner 
and W.E. Washington of this community, and Mrs. John Bowden of Boykins. 
She is also survived by twenty-nine grandchildren and twenty-one great-
grandchildren.  Few Southampton citizens have lived to enjoy such a ripe old 
age.  Mrs. Washington was a member of Capron Baptist Church for more than 
three-fourths of a century, and active in her work for many years. 

Internment was made in the old burying ground at the home of her son, W.E. 
Washington, of this community with whom she has lived for quite a number of 
years, Rev. J.R. Johnson of Courtland conducting the services.  The 
pallbearers were T.J. Harrell, H.W. Avent, Wm. Baugham, W.B. Griffin, E.A. 
Felts and Mr. Blow. 

In Memoriam 
Whereas our Heavenly Father on June 1, 1922, called home our friend and 
sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Washington, who had been a great sufferer for 
several years, be it resolved:
First, That the death of our sister has removed from our church one whom we 
sadly miss as she was always present at the church services when her health 
would permit; 
Second, That we extend our deepest sympathy to her family and commit them to 
the care of our Heavenly Father; 
Third, That a copy be placed on the records of the Capron Baptist Church and 
a copy be sent to the Tidewater News for publication. 
Mrs. T. J. Harrell, Mrs. W. B. Griffin, Mrs. W. H. Ezelle, committee.
