"ALICE VIRGINIA CHAPPEL WINGO IN MEMORIAM A beautiful life came to its earthly closing when, at 5:30 on the evening of Thursday, March 28, 1935 the soul of Mrs. Alice Wingo passed into the hands of her Maker.
Alice Virginia Chappel was born December 18, 1853, near the plantation at Painsville, Va.,that had been her home for the past eighty-two years.
Left motherless at six weeks of age, she was reared by her uncle, Rev. John Johns, a Baptist minister.
She was educated at the Painsville school and also at Mr. Farrar's private school at "Mohican:.
On Mar 3, 1876, she was united in marriage to James Polk Wingo, with whom she lived an ideal married life.
Eight children blessed this union, all of whom are living as follows: Clara (Mrs. W. J. Elam), Mary (Mrs. B. C. Seay), Sallie (Mrs J. W. Perrin), Pearl (Mrs. F. H. Gilliam), George Cabell and Clifton Chappell Wingo, all of Jetersville, Va., Josie (Mrs. G. Baker), of Ansonia, Conn., and James P. Wingo, of Richmond, Va.
She was indeed a mother of Israel, whose children can truthfully call her blessed.
A typical Southern gentlewoman--sweet and patient and kindly--she left the world better for having been here.She was buried of Saturday, March 30, in the cemetery at Union Baptist church, of which she had been a faithful member so many years. Her pastor conducted the obsequies at the home and church.
Like a gem in a rare setting, her body lay in its beautiful casket in a rom filled with florial gifts and then transferred to the burial home beside the dear companion she had patiently waited for five years to join.
The long cortege from the home, Mt. Plesant, to the grave and the beautiful flowers, mutely testified to the esteem in which she was held.
The Amelia Quartette rendered fitting music during the sad rites.
To her loved ones we can but leave this word of comfort:

"She has gone where her loved ones inglory
Are free ever more from pain!
Gone where the Master has promised
You shall meet your dear mother again.
Let wonderful solance and comfort
Enter into your hearts so deep
And feel and know full truly
God giveth His loved ones sleep."

All that loving hands could do was done. Now awaits reunion.
One who knew and loved her and was grateful for her friendship.
MRS. LULA LORD Treasurer W.M.U., Middle District Association"
