"The Passing of a Good Woman"
When Mrs. Ada Winningham of Formosa passed away at 10 o'clock p.m. Aug. 9, 1940, that community and the county lost a truly great woman. Jesus said: "Whosoever will be great among you let him be your minister" or servant. "Miss Ada" as she was familiarly called, was truly a servant of her Lord and His people.
Ada Stanton, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Stanton, was born January 10, 1883, at Cedar Creek, near Center Ridge, but moved with her parents to Formosa at an early age and lived in this community continuously until her death. At the age of 13 she professed faith in Christ and identified herself with the Union Hill Missionary Baptist Church. She remained a faithful member throughout her life.
She was united in marriage to Lee Winningham at Formosa in 1897, and to their union two sons and one daughter were born--Kellis, Opie and Mabel, all of Formosa.
Surviving to mourn her going besides the husband and three children are four grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
No husband ever had a more loyal, more faithful and obedient wife. No children ever had a more passionately devoted mother. No neighbor ever had a more generous friend. No stranger ever fell into the hands of a truer Samaritan. No church ever was blessed with a more sincerely consecrated member.
To the neighbors, the kinfolks, the visiting strangers, the foxhunters, baseball players, preachers. to one and all who came in contact with this good woman, "Miss Ada" was one of the best women on earth.
To Lee and the children the sympathy and prayers of the many friends of their departed loved one are extended. She has gone, but her life will never be forgotten. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."
Our dear one has gone, but what a glorious life she lived among us! Let us take up where she left off and carry on until our call comes. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!"
