Aunt Sophie Womack Oldest Grandmother
From Winn Parish Enterprise 27 June 1929
AUNT SOPHIE WOMACK
Mrs. Sophia M. Womack, 89 years old, was the oldest grandmother presnet(at
the Baptist Church Sunday, Rev. A. H. Cullen, Pastor) and was given a bouquet
of flowers. Mrs. John Sowers, 19 years old, received the bouquet provided for
the youngest mother. Mrs. Sowers lives in Sterlington.
Mrs. Womack known as "Aunt Sophia Womack", was born in Green County,
Alabama, August 28, 1840. Her parents were James W. Holston and Mrs. Clarissa
Louise Holston who moved from Green County Alabama to Winn Parish in 1858.
They entered and settled on lands in Section 33, 34, Tp. 12, N.R.3 W. in 1859
becoming pioneer settlers of the parish.
Miss Sophia M. Holston became the wife of Jesse Womack in 1860. Mr. Womack
died in 1919. He had served four years in the Civil War in Company C., 12th
Regiment of the Infantry Of the seven children born to this union, only two
survive. They are Marion E. Womack and Mrs Trudie Blake.
Mrs. Womack joined the Macedonia Missionary Baptist church in Green County,
Alabama in 1857, when she was 17 years old. She says: "My conversion was
bright and genuine in the good old time way, conviction of sin, repentance and
a turning away from sin, the exercise of faith and the consecration of a life
to God's service."
Seventy-two years of service has given her the assurance that "God's grace
and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ are sufficient to keep His children from
sin."
After her marriage, Mrs. Womack moved to Grant Parish near the New Salem
Baptist Church which was inactive. She organized a Sunday school and kept it
going. The result of this was a revival of the New Salem Baptist Church which
ended in the church going to work again.
Mrs. Womack had the following brothers: M. K. Holston, who reared a large
family in Winn parish, moved to Texas and died there; Marion Holston who
married Miss Lizzie Smith of Winnfield and died soon after his marriage; Pat
Holston, who died during the Civil war, leaving a widow and three children.
She had one sister, Sallie Holston (Sallie Roberta Holston) who married J. M.
Jackson and died soon after her marriage.
