Eulogy for Sarah Ann Green
Early Irvington Pioneers are rapidly Passing
Rev. H. Kremers preached. The casket was decked with floral wreaths contributed by loving friends. The remains were interred in the Irvington cemetery in sight of the old home where the deceased had lived a life of toil and usefulness for 40 years. It was at that home, on the ridge where she raised her family, and where she struggled in common with the mothers of that period to help provide for the necessities of life.
She was industrious and a hard worker till her health gave way. She was a faithful wife, a devoted mother and a most obliging neighbor.
Her passing removes another of the early Irvington settlers.
