SARAH A. DAVIS - CARROLLTON DEMOCRAT - July 25, 1885 .
Died on Saturday morning, July 18th, Mrs. Sarah A. Davis, wife of Wm. Davis, at her residence in Grass Hill, from abscess of the liver. The funeral of the deceased was held at the Whites Run Christian church, of which she was a faithful member, on Sunday, July 19. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed one. Elder D. M. Bridges preached a brief and appropriate discourse from 2d Cor., Chap V.
Mrs. Davis was a daughter of the late Wm. Spicer, one of Carroll county's old and respected citizens; she was married to Wm. Davis, January 29, 1939, and for 26 years they toiled together along life's weary road, accumulating quite a respectable property.
She was the mother of five children, all daughters. One preceded her to the grave. The loss of this daughter grieved her sorely, she leaving a little babe, that again has been robbed of a mother before her death. She committed the little girl to one of her daughters -- one that will love and care for her with all the love and affection of a mother. The four are well known in this county as the wives of some of our most worthy and respectable citizens; and, be it said to the praise of the deceased that no mother could boast of a better set of children than could Mrs. Sarah Davis.
For six long and weary weeks she bore her illness with Christian meekness and fortitude, but alas, the Death angel came and summoned her from earth to Heaven. She met death calmly and with resignation, saying that she had no dread of the grave and exhorting those she was living behind not to grieve after her.
Mrs. Davis was a woman of sterling worth, a kind and loving mother, a good neighbor, loved and respected by all who knew her; a faithful and affectionate wife. . . .
