Does anyone know which Williams Virginia C. Askew was married to? Pike County, Journal Zebulon, GA., Tuesday, November 26, 1889 In Memoriam Mrs. Virginia C. Williams, nee Askew, was born in Pike county, Ga., Oct. 29, 1834, and died at the house of her son-in-law, Mr. R.C. Johnson, Williamson, Ga., Nov. 13, 1889. Sister Williams was converted and joined the M.E. church at the age of 18 and was ever thereafter noted for her consistency of life. Just about the close of the late war, she was left a widow, with four little children, two sons and two daughters, looking to her for support and right nobly did she succeed. She lived to see her children all grown, educated and settled in life. She was faithful in all relations of life, and now that she is dead, her children rise up and call her blessed. Greatly respected by her friends and neighbors, they now revere her memory. As a Christian she was consistent, even faithful to her church and its rules. Her religious life was a steady onward movement that did not depend on outward circumstances. For her “life was hid with Christ in God.” There was daily communion with the Father, resulting in a beautiful Christian life. For many months before her death, she was in very feeble health and realized that the end was approaching, and many times expressed her willingness to depart and be with Christ. Her patience and resignation during all of her sickness was a clear testimony of the faithfulness of Christ in sustaining those who trust him. Such a life was followed by a peaceful death. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” A life of toil and suffering has ended and now has sweet rest in heaven. S.R.E.
