    • OBITUARY: Friday, March 7, 1907 Republican Headlight, Franklin Co., Missouri

      Died at her home near Leslie, on Saturday morning, February 23, 1907, Sarah Frances, wife of Geo. H. Childers, in the fifty-first year of her age. Although her health had not been good for some time, her death was sudden and unexpected, as is usual in heart failure. She passed gently and peacefully into that sleep that knows no waking. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband and ten children. The surviving children are: Sarah, the eldest, who is with her father; Lucy, wife of James Graham, near Champion City; Nancy, wife of Chas. Farrar, near Leslie; Mary, wife of Henry Blackwell, of Gerald; Ida, wife of Chas. Taylor, of Gerald; Alice, wife of John Blackwell, of Gerald; and Benjamin, Frederick, Robert, and Leo, who are at home. One child died in infancy several years ago. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. Stewig, who was well and favorably known in this county. She was an earnest and devoted Christian worker in the Antioch Sunday School and church of which she has been a member ever since its organization. Not only by precept but by example did she strive to train her children in the way they should go. With them she studied the Word of God and sang the beautiful songs, and although her voice will no more be heard in the choir at Antioch where she will be so sadly missed, she has joined the invisible choir in that beautiful "home over there." Our heartfelt sympathy we extend to the bereaved ones. [3]
