| Text | Mrs. Sarah Gary, wife of the late S. H. Gary died at the home of her son Epsey Birkes, 2 1/2 miles northeast of town, Friday morning at 3:30 of general debility, aged about 70 years. Mrs. Gary was born in Indiana, and moved from there to Cass County, Missouri, with her husband the late Mr. Birks and later moved to Barry County where Mr. Birks died, and she later married Mr. Gary. To this union no children were born. She was a consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and lived the life of a Christian. She leaves one son Epsey Birkes, who will have the heartfelt sympathy of all his acquaintance in the death of his dear mother. Funeral services were held at Purdy cemetery, Friday afternoon after which interment was made thereon. Another mother has passed to the great unknown, but this world is better off that she lived and her memory will be pleasant one of her son, and other relatives and friends. Research Note: Sarah Elizabeth Biggerstaff married John Birkes and then Samuel Hamilton Garey. |
