SARAH BOWSFIELD CALYER
Died at her home in the city of Darlington, Wisc., June 11, 1910, Mrs.
Sarah B. Calyer. Deceased was born at Platteville, Wis., August 5,
1857. About the year 1860, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Knewstubb,
moved to the town of Argyle, Wisc., where she grew to womanhood. She
was married to James Calyer at Seney, Iowa, Nov. 5, 1875. After a few
years they settled in Argyle, Wisc., and made that village their home
until six years ago when they came to Darlington, Wisc., where she
remained until her death.
Twelve years ago she became a member of the M.E. Church and continued a
member of that church until the Master's summons came calling her to,
“That Home not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.”
For the last four years she has been an invalid, but not withstanding
her intense suffering she was ever cheerful and hopeful, ever losing
sight of self and seeking only to make others happy, furnishing a
splendid example of that Christian fortitude which enables His children
to bear affliction without murmur. She is survived by her husband, two
daughters, four sisters and four brothers, all of whom were at her
bedside during the ladys of her illness.
The funeral was held June 14, the services being held at the church in
the village of Argyle and conducted by Rev. W. E. Boeticher of this
city, assisted by Rev. W. E. Callahan of Argyle.
Interment was at the cemetery in Argyle village.
