ACENETH CORNELIA MIDYETT
Cornelia Tucker Midgett was born June 5, 1837. She married to W. A. Midgett in the year of 1856. God sent his angel on April 1, 1904, which gently wafted her spirit to a better world. She was ready and willing to go. Robed in purity, dressed and waiting for the train that was to transport her into the city of the glorified saints.
Her's was a long and painful illness, but her sick bed became a place of prayer, and, through all her sufferings no murmur arose to her lips. Her face, manner and conversation showed that she walked with God all the time and knew the "peace that passeth understanding." She loved the Bible, her favorite scripture being the third chapter of Collossians. Only a few months before she left us, I sang to her: "When the Beautiful Gates Unfold," her countenance lit up with a heavenly light, and she said, yes, I feel it won't be long before they unfold for one. Then I will be with my blessed Savior. My dear child, it makes my heart rejoice to hear you sing that song. My dear father's sisters and brothers. We do not weep as those who have no hope. We know she is at rest. She is free from pain and suffering. "She in not dead, but sleepeth." God spoke to her and told her to "come up higher," and occupy the place he had prepared for her, and her spirit winged its way to the land of light.
May we, who are left, strive to live so that we can meet her, where there is no parting.
Around the throne of God in heaven,
His children safely dwell;
And, oh, the joys of that blessed home
No poet's tongue can tell.
Her daughter
