Obituary of Mrs. Annis THOMPSON MEADOWS, 1782-1873 "Mrs. Annis Meadows, wife of deacon Daniel Meadows, died at the residence of her son, in Coweta County. On the 4th day of July, 1873, in the ninety-first year of her age. She was a woman of remarkable mental and physical strength, and had endured many of the hardships and privations of frontier life; and during the War of 1812 she experienced the many bitter trials of a soldier's wife, with several young and helpless children to support. She was born Aug. 31, 1782, was married on the first day of the nineteenth century, (Jan. 1st, 1801) and joined the Baptist Church at Old Bethel, in Taliaferro county, about the year 1810, and from then until her death, was a faithful and consistent Christian, spending much of the time during the last twenty years of her life in reading the Bible. She frequently remarked that, though she dreaded the pangs of death, she did not fear to die and meet the God of her hope. She leaves a husband, who is in the ninety-fifth year of his age, and many relatives and friends to grieve at her departure. Several of her children, and many grandchildren had preceded her across the dark river, and may the angelic spirit of this mother of Israel watch and hover over those of us who are yet to cross, is the prayer of the writer." S. J. Meadows. "Christian Index" July 31, 1873, P:8, Column 2.
