OBITUARY
The subject of this brief sketch, Sarah Ann Phillips, wife of James Phillips, of Columbia township, this county, died September 18th, 1886, aged 68 years, 2 months and 8 days.
She joined the church in early life and lived a consistent christian until death. She was married to her now bereaved husband March 10th, 1836, and the year following they removed to Ohio, and in 1853 emigrated to Indiana.
She was the mother of thirteen children, nine of whom survive her. She was a kind mother and a loving companion. She had a desire to remain with her family for good, but was willing to submit to the will of the Lord. In her affliction she suffered with christian fortitude and passed to the reward without a struggle.
She left 9 children, 70 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, with her aged companion, and many others who mourn her loss deeply, but their loss is her gain. May He in whom she trusted bring them all to a happy reunion in the home of the blessed.
