Mrs. Sallie Henry Chipman

Neshoba Baptist Church Records
On the morning of Sept. 13, 1916 God saw fit to call away the sweet spirit of Mrs. Sallie Henry Chipman to her heavenly home.  Mrs. Sallie was born Feb 12 1879. She joined the Baptist Church at New Hope, now Neshoba in Aug.1898.  She was married to Bro. J. M. Chipman Dec 29th 1898.  To this union
God blessed them with five girls all living.  She was a devoted wife and mother always met you with a smile.  While on her death bed She said, " I am going to sleep in Jesus, there is not a thing in the way.  I can see the way clear."  Loved ones standing near said: "It was the clearest testimony they ever heard."  She leaves one brother, two half brothers, and two half sisters and a host of friends to mourn her death.  Well may it be said of her, though dead, she continues to speak - and her works follow her.  Be it resolved by Neshoba Baptist Church.  1st that in the death of Sister Chipman, the church has lost a devoted member and the family a kind and loving wife and mother.  2nd that we extend to the weeping husband, children
and relatives our sincere sympathy in the dark hour of bereavement and joint them for comfort.  To him of whom it is:  as a father pittieth his children so the Lord pittieth them that fear him.  3.  That these resolutions be spread in full in our record book, and a copy given to the bereaved family.  Done under the church in conference this Oct. 21, 1916.

Sallie Henry was the wife of John Malcolm Chipman.
