Died
Mrs. J.B. Barfield, a most excellent lady died at her home near Bateman’s Mill on Wednesday the 26th of Nov., after a severe illness of several weeks. Those who were best acquainted with Mrs. Barefield speak of her in the highest as an affectionate mother, a good neighbor and a Christian lady.  She leaves a large family and many friends and relatives to mourn her loss. Additional Comments:  Note - The last name (Barfield/Barefield) is spelled two ways in this article.  I'm unsure of the correct spelling. *****Submitted by Carla Miles

A Good Woman Gone
At her home in Butler on Monday evening last occurred the death of Mrs. Monk, the affectionate wife of Prof. W.C. Monk, after an illness of several months from consumption.  She was a most excellent lady and leaves a devoted husband, several children besides many friends and relatives to mourn their loss. We are unable to give full particulars of the life and character of this good lady in our present issue, but hope to be able to say more hereafter.

Monk – Died at her home in Butler, Taylor County, Ga., Nov. 17th 1890, of chronic bronchitis, Mrs. Flora V. Monk, wife of W.C. Monk and daughter of L.M. and E.K. Vimont.  She was born May 24th 1847, at Millersburg, Bourbon Co., Kentucky; was married June 29th 1871.  She was given to God in infancy by her Christian mother, who was and is still a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, but she never gave herself to God until a few days before her departure, when she had the pastor of the M.E. Church South, the church of her husband, come and receive her into the church after giving one of the brightest experiences of pardon and full acceptance with the Father.  The few days left her upon earth were spent in giving advice to husband and children and other relatives and friends.  She was the noblest of women, the most devoted wife and mother.  She did every duty of social and domestic life with love and faithfulness.  Her faith in God was preeminent.  She was blessed in her Bible study, for she always went to the Bible with an honest desire to learn the truth.  Through her long sickness she did not murmur, but was resigned to the will of Him “who knoweth and doeth all things well.”  Many God give us all that sustaining and comforting grace which rendered the subject of this obituary notice so calm and quiet under the distressing disease.  She leaves a husband, son, three little daughters, mother, sister, and brother, besides many other relatives and friends.
