Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 1 Mar 1901, p. 5, c. 2
In Memoriam. By the will of the Almighty this community has been deprived of 
one of its most respected and beloved women, Mrs. Nancy May Winningham, whose 
death occurred at the family residence on Forest creek, February 5, 1901. Mrs. 
Winningham’s sad demise has caused great sorrow in this community, where she 
was well and favorably known and was held in the highest esteem by all who 
knew her. She was born in Logan County, Illinois, September 29, 1874, and in 
1876 she moved with her parents to Southern Oregon. In 1890 she was married to 
Mark Winningham, of this county, where they have resided ever since. The union 
was blessed with four children, Mary Hester, aged ten years; Almeda, aged 
eight; Robert, aged six, and William, two years old. She was strongly devoted 
to her family and had the greatest hopes for the future of her little ones. 
That she was a devoted wife and mother no one can deny Mrs. Winningham was ill 
eighteen days with a complication of diseases, during which time she suffered 
great pain, but she bore it with that strong, womanly fortitude and spirit 
with which she was endowed, and to the very last she would not give up. In 
behalf of the people of this community I extend their heartfelt sympathy to 
the bereaved and sorrowing family. She is gone but will not be forgotten.
We miss thee from our home, dear,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow o’er life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our house is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere. --M. A. V.
