Death of Mrs. Sarah A. Jones.

Sarah Ann Vandivier, daughter of James and Barbara Vandivier, was born in Mercer county, Ky., June 14, 1831; married to David P. Jones April 2, 1851, and died Sept. 20, 1896. De­ceased was the mother of eight chil­dren, five of whom survive her. She united with the First Mt. Pleasant missionary Baptist church of this county in 1856, of which she remained a member until her death. She was a most estimable lady, and will be re­membered by many for her Christian character and personal worth, and her death deeply regretted by relatives and friends. To the sorrowing friends, the following couplet is dedicated:

Be still, sad heart! Oh cease thy vain
    regretting,
For He who smitest thee still knoweth
    what is best,
How oft would ye recall the loved, for-
    getting
That she with Jesus is forevermore at
    rest.
Oh blessed day when first upon her
    Saviour
With faith, and hope, and love she “fixed
    her happy choice,”
Who walked with her e’en through the vale
    and shadow
And in whose presence she will evermore
   rejoice.

Mrs. Olive Byers
