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.
