"DIED On the 5th ultimo, MRS. WINNEFORD BIVINS, consort of M. L. BIVINS, in the twenty-fifth year of her age. She died of bilious fever, after an illness of eleven days, leaving behind her two helpless babes, and a bereaved husband, as well as numerous friends and relatives, to lament their loss. As a wife and a mother, she was tender and affectionate, and as a citizen kind and obliging. Though she had not made a profession of religion, she was willing to meet death with all of its terrors, and cherished a hope, till her last breath was drawn, of everlasting bliss; and in her last moments she expressed a regret that she had not received the ordinance of baptism." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer newspaper, Wednesday, 06 OCT 1841, p. 3.]
