JESSIE COLLINGS GINN
Source: Waveland Independent, February 13, 1916
Jessie May Ginn, daughter of Marion and Eva Collings was born September 12, 1890 and died February 8, 1914 aged 23 years 6 months and 27 days. She was married to Frank Ginn, October 25, 1907. To this union were born two children, Mildred Edna and Pauline Catherine. The following obituary was read: She was not a member of church, but was full of love and Christian kindness and bore life's burdens with patience and fortitude characteristic of the believer in God. In her quiet and unassuming manner of life, she impressed all, who came within the radius of her life with her unselfish devotion to right principles which she made the rule of her actions in relation to all with whom she came in touch, so well that all who knew her were made to love her. As wife, she knew and maintained her place so admirably that the bereaved husband has naught but praise and fondest memories of her to in some measure smooth his aching heart. In all her life's journey, she has strewn the flowers of love and goodness. She was a lovely mother, and to prove her right to that highest title, she gave her life upon the altar of motherhood in adding another to the world's populace. A tender babe is here to tell in other days, perhaps, in these words, "I never knew my mother." She became a member of Siloam Rebekah Lodge No 58 of Waveland April 9, 1912 in which she proved herself worthy and obedient. She leaves to mourn her loss, a husband, two little girls, a father, mother and many friends. Mrs. Frank Ginn died at her home E. of Milligan on Sunday. Funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday morning. Member of the Rebekah Lodge acted as pall bearers. The funeral was preached by Rev CL Airhart. Interment at Mt. Moriah
