The Gospel Messenger, Volume 14, No. 1 January 1892:
Jemima A. Hay.
Sister Jemima A. Hay departed this life June 17, 1891, aged seventy-five years, two months and twenty-eight days. She was born in Wilkes County, Ga., and when about sixteen years of age moved with her parents to Meriwether County, Ga., and here she obtained a hope in Christ and joined the Baptist Church, and was baptized by Elder Isaac Nickols November 1, 1835. She was married February 11, 1836, to Mr. William J. Hay, who joined the church in 1838. From thence they moved to Perry County, ala., and her husband died January 10, 1877. After realizing this sad bereavement, our dear old sister spent the remnant of her days with her worthy nephew and niece, Mr. William J. Hay and wife, and had all the attention and comforts that loving hands could administer. She was loved by all who knew her, and her neighbors loved and respected her as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. She was one of the prominent members in the constitution of a Primitive Baptist Church in her neighborhood about 1872, and when this church went down, she united with the church at Mt. Olive, near where she lived, where she remained a faithful, loving sister until death. She seemed firm and unshaken in her conviction of the Primitive Baptist Church as being the true church of Christ. She had no fellowship for the modern institutions of men, neither did she affiliate with any. She bore all her sufferings without murmuring; her trust was in the Lord, and to His will she was resigned.
Farewell, dear old sister; you waited with patience the Lord's time, and Jesus came and took you from a world of sorrow to your long-sought, eternal home. Weep now, dear relatives and friends, your loss is her eternal gain.
"Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep,
From whence none ever wakes to weep,
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes."
