A Mother in Israel Dead
Mrs. Melinda Waynick Answers Summons at Age of 89 Years
Mrs. Melinda Waynick died at 2 o'clock this morning at the home of her son-in-law, J. J. Rye, 611 South Second street, after a few days illness from troubles incident to age. She lacked but two months of being 89 years old.
The funeral service will be conducted at the home of Rev. J. J. Rye Wednesday at 10 o'clock a.m. by Rev. J. L. Boaze of Marion, Tenn., followed by interment in the city cemetery.
Mrs. Waynick had been a widow 44 years, and was the mother of eleven children, all of whom survive her. They are Dr. A. J. Waynick, of this county; Rev. D. T. Waynick, of Harrison, Ark; J. M. Waynick, of Clarksville; George Waynick, of Stewart county; J. G. Waynick, of Nashville; and Mesdames W. H. Dickson, of Dickson county; B. B. Adams, and G. N Bailey, of Houston county; Mesdames E. C. Blakely, W. B. Willis and J. J. Rye, of Clarksville, of whom Mrs. Rye is the youngest.
Mrs. Waynick was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church from early childhood and all recognized her as a devout Christian woman. As she lived a life of faith in God, she died trusting Him implicitly. Truly a mother in Israel has been taken. 470, Malinda C Dickson Waynick
