Sister Agee was born on January 12, 1848, and was married in 1865. To this union ten children were born, three of whom preceded her to the spirit land. She was baptized into Christ in 1864, and her life was full of good works and sacrifices. It was through Brother and Sister Agee's influence (and not only through their influence, but through their labors as well) that the Antioch congregation, near their home, was established. Sister Agee was modest, retiring, unostentatious, and the work she did was mostly around the fireside and in her immediate neighborhood; but if some woman in one of the religious societies had done the work and made the sacrifices she made, the society circles would never cease to sound her praises. She was one who could always find something to do in her Master's service. When her neighbors were sick or in distress, she was the first to go to their assistance; and while she never seemed to know of the current news of the day, she always knew of the suffering ones, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand. She was a devoted wife and one of the most self-sacrificing mothers I ever saw; in fact, she was a martyr to her children and the suffering ones. If she had thought more of her own comfort, she might have lived much longer. When Sister Agee was not at the worship on Lord's day (and it was seldom she was absent), we knew there was a reason, and not an excuse, for her absence. Her home was a hospitable one, where the preacher ever felt at home and was encouraged, by her example of Christian patience and fortitude, to work more for the Master. She will be greatly missed by the church, by her relatives and friends, and especially in her own home, which was a happy one and where the spirit of love reigned supreme; but we take strong consolation from the gospel, and mourn not as those who have no hope, for we are sure she is at rest, while we who loved her are left still to battle with trials yet to come. Sister Agee rests from her labors, and may those who loved her most emulate her virtues and live to the glory of God. T. A. Smith., Chestnut Bluff, Tenn. Gospel Advocate, May 9, 1901, page 301
