Clinton MO, Mar 17 1900 - Mrs. Sarah Grigsby, nee White, died at her home in Bear Creek township March 2, 2900. "Aunt Sallie" was born in Muskingom, Ohio January 25, 1837 married to Alfred Grigsby January 16, 1852; came to this county in 1870. She joined the M. E. church, south, in 1859 while living in Ohio and united with the same church at Bear Creek. There is no doubt but what she is now safe in the blood-washing throng whose robes are whiter than snow. In her home, she was a most pleasant woman and the caller, whether neighbor or stranger, was soon made to feel at home and tho it was humble, it was richer in sunshine than the home of a king. Her life was a fountain of hope and overflowed to brighten the pathway of all who came within her sphere. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn the greatest loss one can known in this life. The aged husband is heart broken, to him she has not grown older but has ever remained the beautiful bride whom he led to the altar 48 years ago; nearly half a century she has been at his side, his joy, his life, his all
