Thompson - Sarah - 1895
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 13 December 1895
Again the death angel has entered our midst and taken from us a beloved mother. The Lord hath bid us “pass under the rod,” and with sad and heavy hearts we bow and say “Thy will be done.”
Aunt Sarah, as we all were wont to call her, was born in Ohio in 1818; was married to Mr. Thompson in 1842; came to Indiana twenty one years ago, and died at her home, one mile south of Whitesville, December 6th, 1895. Her husband and four children have preceded her to that heavenly home and five are left to mourn her loss. She was a true servant of the Lord, a loving and wise mother, a kind friend and a cheerful companion. To know here was to love her.
Funeral services were held at the house by Elder Johnson of the Christian Church. Interment was at the Harshbarger Cemetery. - s
