WARD, Sarah A.
Surnames: WARD
The remains of Mrs. Sara A. Ward were interred in the city cemetery on Wednesday
afternoon beside loved ones who have gone before.
Thus is consigned to mother earth another pioneer citizen of Marlin, who leaves
behind a large family connection and many friends who regret her demise, yet all
must feel that it is but a kind act of Providence in removing from weary
suffering and agony, the body and transmitting to realms above the patient soul
that has withstood the trials and tribulations of this life all these years,
with remarkable Christian fortitude.
Religious services were conucted(sic) at the family residence on Ward street by
Revs. C. Smith and I. C. Underwood, deceased having been a consistent member of
the Baptist church for nearly a half century.
The freshly made mound, under which rest the mortal remains of the mother whose
benign influence and tender affection, has been as a beacon star to the children
and as an example of womanly virtues to all, was covered with beautiful floral
offerings from loving hands and sympathetic hearts.
