Springs Valley Herald (July 19, 1928) Obituary
As a new day unfolded its beautiful sunlight upon a busy care free world on Friday, July 13, 1928, Sarah E. Denton, in her home near French Lick, Indiana, forever laid aside the duties and the cares of this life, and passed peacefully into that eternal life of rest and quietude, into that heavenly home not made with human hands, where dwell her Lord and Master, and her loved ones whom she has loved so long and has lost awhile.
She was the daughter of David M. and Hannah M. Loyd, and was born near Hardinsburg in Washington County, Indiana, August 15, 1859, and in this vicinity she spent the early years of her life. At the age of sixteen years she accepted the call of her Savior and became a member of the Methodist Church at Hardinsburg, and throughout her life lived a consistent and faithful child of this Master.
She was married to John F. Denton, August 15, 1880, and to this union was born four children, viz, Ollie E. Denton of Bloomington, Indiana; W. C. Denton of Hillsboro, Indiana; Wilbur Denton of French Lick; and Mary E. Denton, whose death occurred at this place (Paoli) a few years since.
Her life, it may truly be said, was that of the simple home life. She loved her home, her family, and her friends. Residing in various communities, she ever made new friends who loved her sincerity of truth, her gentle manner, and her motherly affections. To each of these, he passing will bring sweet memories of by-gone days, and praises for her name.
In her life of 68 years, 10 months and 28 days, almost her allotted three score years and ten.
With the bereaved children herein mentioned, she leaves to mourn one sister, Mrs. Ida Henderson of New Albany, Indiana; two brothers, Josh Loyd of California, and Will Loyd of Vincennes, and this sorrowing and aged husband, who for almost fifty years has gone down the pathway of life with this faithful companion, and to whom we can truly offer the consolation and the promise of Him "who doeth all things well," and the comfort in the knowing.
