DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN
Mrs. J. W. T. Gibson passed away at an early hour Wednesday morning, surrounded by the loved ones of her family. She had been ill about four weeks, during which period everything was done for her relief that medical
skill could suggest, but without avail. After a long and useful life, she died as she had lived, firm in the Christian faith and honored and loved by
all who knew her. Her life was indeed completed if "work well done" constitutes completion. Through all the sorrows and vicissitudes that she met in the way, her trust in God and His infinite mercy never wavered. She
will be sadly missed in the home and in the community, and the sympathy of everyone goes out to the stricken family.
The deceased was 73 years of age. She is survived by her husband and five children, the latter being Mrs. H.U. Downing of Columbus and Mrs. Thos. J. Jones, Mrs. T.O. Stallings, Mrs. N.L. North and Mr. J.S. Gibson of this city. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon from the Central Baptist church, services being conducted by Rev. J.S. Hardaway, assisted by Rev. W.J. Cotter. The interment was in Oak Hill cemetery.

OBITUARY OF MRS. LOUISA GIBSON
Mrs. Louisa Gibson was formerly Miss Louisa Faver, daughter of Sanders Walker and Caroline Davis Faver. She was born on Oct. 9, 1837 in Wilkes
county, Ga. Her father moved from Wilkes to Heard county. She married first John T. Vaughn, who fell in battle during the Civil War. On Aug. 15, 1867
she married Bro. Joel W. T. Gibson. To them were born eight children, Mrs. H.U. Downing of Columbus, Mrs. Thos. J. Jones, Miss Ada Gibson, Mrs. T.O. Stallings, Mrs. R.L. Sanford, Mrs. N.L. North, Joel Gibson and J.S. Gibson.
Of these, her son Joel and her daughters Ada Gibson and Mrs. R.L. Stanford preceded her to the better land.
She entertained a hope in Christ some time before she united with the church. In 1863 she was baptized into the fellowship of the Franklin church
by Dr. Jas. H. Hall and became of of the first fruits of his long and blessed ministry among us.
No one could be with her long without being impressed by her sweetness and the strength of her Christian character. She was not inclined to talk much
of the sacred experiences of the soul. She seemed to feel that they were too sacred to be lightly expressed in words, but faith and prayer and the word
of God was most real to her. Her soul stayed itself upon them. She passed through some great bereavements and amidst them she was sustained by the
grace of God. Her anchor held within the veil and her faith shone like a bright star in the darkness of the night.
A mighty impress for good she left upon the hearts of her children. Carefully she taught them to pray, and when they trusted in Christ, her
rejoicing was full. A devoted wife and mother, she spent her life in the sacred precincts of the home. Where could it be better spent? And what fuller, richer, fruitage could come from a life so consecrated than came to
her.
For the past five or six years she rarely got out at all, owing to feeble health. For some months she lived with the thought that her end was near. When it came, it found her ready to answer the summons, calm and unafraid. On Wednesday, July 10th, she sweetly breathed forth her spirit and departed from earth to the home prepared for her in the heavens.
Of her, it may be truly said, as of the excellent woman in the scriptures, "Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in the time to
come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband,
also, praiseth her."
To her, death was nothing more than a transition, a passing away of the weakness, the sufferings and the sorrows of mortal life, into that bright
land where there is no sickness, nor pain, nor death, and where all tears are wiped away forever, not so much a departure from life, as an entrance
into the life more abundant.
To those left behind, the loneliness, the bereavement, the sorrow; but for her the triumph, the joy, the crown and the life eternal.

BIO: From the Coweta Co. Chronicles: Lived in Heard Co. until her marriage. Her picture is on page 681 of Coweta Co. Chronicles written by her daughter. Buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, Newnan, Ga.
