Mrs. Sarah Remley died at her home, west of the city, January 10, 1890, after a gradual decline extending over the past three years. While her death was not a surprise to her intimate friends, it was none the less a great sorrow to all who knew her. Mrs. Remley was born near Lebanon, Ohio, August 22, 1803, and was, therefore, eighty six years, four months, and ten days of age at the time of her death. She was married to John Remley March 3, 1822, and in April of the same year they settled in Montgomery County, Indiana, one and a half mile west of Crawfordsville, where she continued to reside until the day of her death. To them were born eleven children, of whom six sons and one daughter are yet living. In 1841 she united with the First Presbyterian Church, Crawfordsville, under the pastorate of Rev. John C. Eastman, and for almost half a century she was conspicuous as an “example of the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith:” and when by reason of bodily weakness she could no longer leave her room, her religious character seemed to shine out even more clearly than ever. The sweet gentleness of her disposition, her clearn, unwavering faith and her wonderful patience combined to make her life beautiful, and to the very last her presence was sought and enjoyed by all alike, for all, from the oldest to the youngest, loved her dearly. The funeral services were held at the residence on Sunday morning, conducted by Rev. E. B. Thomson and Rev. J. F. Tuttle, D. D., after which her remains were laid by those of her husband in Oak Hill. - kbz
