Daughter of John and Hepzibah E. Bates. Wife of Col. Robert Baugh.
Home in 1850 and 1860 was Chambers Co, Alabama, where her husband is a farmer.
Mrs. Georgiana Baugh, wife of Col. Robert Baugh, was a native of Edgefield District, South Carolina, was born Nov 12 h, 1826, and died in Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1st 1865.
After marriage, she removed with her husband to Alabama, and when the ravages of war, constrained them to abandon their comfortable home in that State, they ultimately located in the "Gate City," where her remains now repose. In the life and character of this departed, and now sainted, woman, we have a happy combination of the two great elements of scriptural piety - faith and works - deriving their vitality and potency from Heaven. At the age of 12 years, she yielded her heart to the claims of her Redeemer, and identified her fortunes with the Methodist E Church. Nor did all the vicissitudes of her future life, throw a shadow upon the lustre of her virtues, or depreciate her christian worth. Nay, rather the contrary, for like the ascending sun, her "path" shone "brighter and brighter to the perfect day." Her sublime and unwavering trust in God, was modestly, but firmly maintained, as well amid the attractive blandishments, as the trying misfortunes of her checkered career - sustaining her in the performance of every duty - comforting her under every deprivation and affliction, and finally, encircling her death bed with a halo of unearthly light. Hers was no vague and superficial faith, garnished by ostentatious and imposing deeds, "prepared to order," and designed to win the eulogies of the world, for she sought "the honor that cometh from God only." As a woman, she was amiable, unassuming, and retiring, but vigilant and active, in the prosecution of every benevolent enterprize, and liberal in the outlay of her charities to the friendless, the suffering, and the poor. Her unaffected dignity of character and Christian suavity of manners, always won for her a circle of sincere admirers, as well amid the fashionable throng of Saratoga and the "beau-monde" in New York, as in cottegers' huts and grateful negroes' cabins. As a wife, her placid temper, affectionate spirit, and kind and encouraging counsels made her, for 22 years, the idol of an excellent and doting husband's heart. But as a Christian, her claims will entitle her by the authority of the Divine record, to "shine as the brightness of the firmament." Pretentionless and modest, her piety made no display, but was as lovely in the domestic circle as it was devotional and pure in the Church of God, and gave beauty and effectiveness to every other virtue. The writer of this imperfect tribute to her memory, knelt by her bedside on the day before her peaceful exit to her heavenly home and rose to hear her shout the triumphs of religion and the glory of God. Surrounded by a disconsolate husband, kind physicians, and sympathizing and attentive friends, she sank quietly to sleep in the arms of her Saviour. ~ A. Means.
