At her residence in Tebeauville, Ga., on Wednesday the first day of June, Mrs. J. W. Remshart, in the 79th year of her age. For over fifty years she had been a regular member of the Trinity Methodist Church in Savannah and was one of the founders of the Trinity Sunday School.

During a long life of usefulness she was noted for her benevolence, her kindliness of spirit, and her true Christian faith. Her death, though not unexpected, was the signal for the deepest sorrow among her relatives; and her friends, who are numbered by the scores throughout the entire State, will keenly feel the loss of the noble heart, that has winged its way to God. The funeral services were performed by Rev. N. D. Morehouse, and her remains were carried to Savannah for interment.

The Local Advance, Blackshear, Georgia, 6 June 1881, page 1, column 1.
