Mingea, Jane M.
With a deep sense of our loss we record the departure from this life of Sister Jane M. Mingea, whose death occurred at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Skinner, at Woodward, Jefferson county, Ala., Feb. 23, 1894. Sister Mingea was born Nov. 6, 1813, in North Alabama, and was married to Micajah Mingea March 15, 1832. They lived in Athens, Ala., for many years, where they raised a family of ten children, of whom five now survive her to mourn their loss. The five who are gone, together with their father, rest in the cemetery at Athens, where all that was mortal of our departed sister was placed. Sister Mingea obeyed the gospel under the preaching of F. D. Srygley. She believed in Christ with her whole heart, obeyed his written word, and was baptized into his death by Brother Weatherford, near Athens, Ala. She afterwards lived a sincere, devoted Christian life, loving and affectionate to all around her, and loved by all. She greatly enjoyed hearing the writer repeat the good words of the preachers at the churches wherever she would attend, of which pleasure she was deprived for several years on account of her age and infirmity. In her declining years she was a great comfort to her daughters family, in which she made her home. The grandchildren were very fond of her, and will miss her good influence and kind caresses. Several of her surviving children have added their names to the list of the Fathers faithful, prominently among them the youngest daughter, whose name deserves to be recorded in history as a heroine, in that she put forth the most self-sacrificing, painstaking, and tireless efforts to render the life of her mother as comfortable as was possible for her to do. Apart from the fact that she is naturally a lovely, lovable character, spotless and pure, her unremitting struggle to do her whole duty to her aged mother, regardless of her own frailty, should cause all mothers to sing her praise. Between eight and nine oclock of the night of Feb. 22 the Father called her, and about two oclock of the same night her spirit went to meet him in that bright, happy home he has promised to all who love him. In our deep affliction we humbly say, Thy will be done.
