Mrs. Winnifred Ainsworth, the wife of Rev. Jas. T. Ainsworth of the Georgia Conference, died in Sandersville, Ga., September 26th 1865, in 27th year of her age. She was united in marriage to her surviving January ___, and in the following August she was converted and joined the M.E. Church. Her babe, about two months old, followed its sainted mother to heaven one day after her departure. Sister Ainsworth in her religious life was sometimes "in heaviness through manifold temptations," but very frequently her enjoyments were of the highest order. She often urged her husband, amid the laborious work and great privations of the itinerant ministry, not to locate but persevere and be a good, holy man consecrated to "the work of the Lord."
During her last illness – typhoid fever – I visited her often, and she always seemed ready to talk about religion, and sometimes asked for divine service to be held at her bedside before anyone else proposed them. In her deep tribulation she enjoyed the comforts of religion and could realize the truth of the promise "My grace is sufficient for thee." On one occasion, just a few days before her death, when asked if she would be willing to die, she was silent a moment, and then said with great earnestness and some agitation, "I would dread to die, and leave my children, but I would submit to the Lord's will. To my mind it was evident that her soul was fully awake to the nature of death, and, though with trembling yet with proper courage, her immoral spirit confided in God for the aid of his "rod" and "staff" through "the valley and shadow of death." Her death was easy and triumphant. She left a sorely afflicted husband and three precious children for whom the sympathies and prayers of the righteous are earnestly solicited.
