| Text | Mrs. Sarah A. May, wife of Merritt May of this city, died Monday evening, May 27, 1907 of tuberculosis, age 40 years, after a lingering illness of nine months. All those having the pleasure of her acquaintance, speak in the highest terms of her, as a woman, citizen, and neighbor. Let us, if possible, gather up the elements of the life of the departed one and weave them a picture for the walls of memory. The book of life was opened and a new name was written therein by the hand of love. The end was as peaceful as the close of a beautiful summer day, when daylight tides into night with increasing loveliness. Her Christian life was one to be admired, and during her sickness, her trust and faithfulness in her Maker, never wavered. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her death. She was born in Newton County, and was a member of the Christina Church. Rev. E. A. Frost conducted the funeral services at the family residence, Tuesday afternoon, after which the remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery at this place. |
