Notes	Watt. A. Jolly Miss Annie Reynolds 6 Aug 1896 G195 They moved to Oklahoma after their marriage. Fulton Weekly Gazette Sept. 10, 1909 Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Jolly, of Okmailgee, Okla., after spending a week visiting Calaway relatives, left Wednesday for their home. Fulton Gazette June 14, 1912 Mrs. W.A. Jolly Muskogee, Okla., May 29, 1912. Mrs. Annie R. Jolly, the eldest daughter of John P. and Sarah Frances Reynolds, was born March 22, 1869, at New Bloomfield, Mo. She was born again and joined the First Baptist church at Millersburg, Mo., about 22 years ago. She was married to W.A. Jolly August 6, 1896. She was the mother of three children, Frances Elizabeth, Annie Katherine, and a little babe that preceded her to heaven. Mrs. Jolly was called to her heavenly home on May 1, 1912, in Okmulgee, Okla. She left her loving and devoted husband, W.A. Jolly, and the two little girls, Frances Elizabeeth and Annie Kathrine, to mourn her departure and their irreparable loss. I had the honor and pleasure of being Mrs. Jolly's pastor, and as her pastor became intimately aquainted with her and her family. Perhaps I leaned more on Brother Jolly than any other deacon in the church and spent more time in his home than with any other faimly in Okmulgee. It was my fortune to talk a great deal with Mrs. Jolly and to hear expressions from the deep fountains of her heart. I learned to appreciate her and to love her very tenderly as her pastor. It is now my pleasure to say of her that she was one of the best educated and most highly cultured women that I ever knew. She was educated in books and also in the deep things of the homan heart. Mrs. Jolly was a good wife. She loved her husband, honored him in all things and was devoted to his comfort and welfare. It was beautiful to see the contented and loving expression of her face as she talked of her husband and planned for the things that would make his life sweeter and better. She was a good mother and loved her children with a devotion that was always a picture of that highest earthly devotion - a mother's love. I sometimes missed Mrs. Jolly from church, and when I did I always knew that she was at home with the children, training their feet in the path that leads to the City of God. She loved her home and was not given over in the social frivolities of this age. She did not avoid society and was fit and qualified by culture and education, grace and beauty, to have been an ornament in any social circle, but with her, home came first, and in her home she tried to bring all of the grace and beauty of the most cultured circle. Sister Jolly was a good member of the Baptisst church: she loved the cause of her Savior and was always ready to do anything in her power to make every service in the church a success. She loved her pastor and was always kind, sympathetic and helpful. Her life was as beautiful as a poem, and like a glad song of love she benefited all with whome she was associated in life. It has been my fortune to be the pastor of many good women. I count Mrs. Jolly the best and most helpful that I have ever known. When I get home to heaven I expect to meet her there and again see her bright smile of sympathetic friendship and appreciation. I want to say to Brother Jolly that his good wife is not dead, in the sense of annihiliation. She has crossed over to the other side and has entered upon that larger and better life that God has for all of his people. She is over there where the flowers bloom forever and the sun is always bright. I believe that she is still in touch with this world and think that she will still influence her husband for that which is loftiest and best, and that she will still be a guardian angel for Frances and Katherine. Her last words were, "I am holding the train for Frances and Katherine." I believe she is still holding the train and will hold it until the little girls meet her up there in the City of the Great King. I am glad to say of Sister Jolly that she was my friend, a friend of my family and my sister in the Lord. She left to us all an inheritance worth more than money. The inspiration of her life will help me to be a better preacher and a better man, and I feel quite sure that Brother Jolly will always be stronger and better because she was his wife and because of his great love for her, and I know the little girls will always be better for having such a mother. Her example in life will ever be a blessing to the First Baptist church of Okmulgee, whose membership she adorned and made richer and better in all things that tended to the uplift of God's people and the salvation of the lost. I can say with many others: "Green be the turf above thee, Friend of my better days; None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise." E.D. Cameron
