A Mother Gone
Sarah Ann E. G. Starkey was born in Greenwood County, Kansas, Nov. 21, 1877. She united in married with Ed Taylor, March 9, 1902. To this union six children were born, all of whom are living. During the fall of 1916, Mrs. Taylor's health became much impaired by the dreaded disease, consumption. She lingered patiently through sever suffering until death relived her Sunday Nov. 11, 1917. She was 39 years, 11 months and 20 days old. On Tuesday Nov. 6th just preceding her death, Mrs. Taylor professed faith in Christ while on her bed of affliction. Her words and radiant countenance bore evidence to her sorrowing relatives that she was at peace with God. While it is with sad hearts we give her up we rejoice to know we may meet her in a world free from sorrow and sad partings. Beside her husband and six little children Mrs. Taylor leaves a mother, father, four brothers and four sisters to mourn her absence. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Smallwood in the Baptist Church Tuesday, and interment made in the cemetery near the church. Communication
