~~Aunt Tempy Ingram" dies and a Saint is at rest~~
Miss Temperance Ingram better known as "Aunt Tempy" died May 5, 1888 at the residence of W. K Morgan. His wife, Mary Lovell Morgan was, on the death of her mother Mary Ingram Lovell adopted in her infancy and brought up by her Aunt Tempy. Aunt Tempy was born February 5, 1794, in Brunswick County Virginia and came with her parents Joseph and Ann Allen Ingram to Logan Co., Kentucky in 1805. Whilst living in that county, where Lewisburg now is, she joined the Methodist Church in 1811, at Kentucky's Chapel, under the ministry of Rev. Peter Cartright and hardihood Asbury, the first American Methodist Bishop, preach at the chapel whilst conference was in session there.
She died in the communion of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South and was in the highest sense a Christian woman. Her brothers and sisters had long become her friends in heaven. Mrs. Robert Branscomb, Mrs Michael Lovell, Mrs. John S. Eaves and Miss Hannah Ingram were pre-eminently domestic women, with tender and endearing household ways. Her brothers were up right, good men.
The memory of the serene, silent beauty of her holy life is all that is left to us now of her. but the memory is like a celestial fragrance. She was afflicted and cripple in her old age and suffered much physical pain, but, her life was too full of God for her to complain or mummer. Her constant motto was: "The best of all is, God is with us". She read the bible daily and she prayed more than she worried. She lived as she prayed, her loving hands were always doing something for others. Her old face became like the morning moon, reflecting the light of yet unseen sun of righteousness before it had fully risen to her and fading away finally from our glaze, absorbed inn the source of its own beauty.
To those who mourn her death and who with loving hands tenderly laid her away at Antioch church as well as to others who would have assisted if they could, is the consolation that blessed as it is to have such a friend on earth, it is still more blessed to have such a friend in heaven..
