THE END HAD BEEN EXPECTED
Had Been In Poor Health Several Years and Seriously Ill A Number Of Weeks
Mrs. John R. Peoples, one of the oldest residents of this county, and a well known lady of this community, died Sunday morning at her home, four and one-half miles northeast of this city, after an illness of several years' duration, death resulting from cancer of the stomach. Mrs. Peoples was sixty-three years of age and was born and reared in Virginia, remaining in that state until Mr. Peoples met her and they were united in marriage. They at once journeyed to this county and set up housekeeping on a farm and have ever since that time made Adams county their home. Several years ago Mrs. Peoples commenced to decline in health and the cause was at once attributed to cancer of the stomach. Everything possible was done for her, but medical assistance seemed useless, and yesterday, after many days of suffering, death relieved her. Funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at the M.E. church in this city, Rev. J. C. White officiating and interment will be made in the Decatur cemetery. She leaves a husband, four daughters and four sons to mourn their loss.

MRS. SARAH ABER PEOPLES
Sarah Jane Aber was born in Carroll county, Ohio, April 27, 1843. She was the oldest of five children. When she was but three years old, her parents moved to Adams county, Indiana, and made their home on the farm where she died, Easter Sunday, April 15, 1906.
At the age of eleven she was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church in the old log school house that stood at the corner of the old home farm and thus her whole life was given in consecration to Jesus. From childhood she was winsome, attractive, very affectionate, always giving joy to the household.
By the aid of early education and her gifts by nature, she became a young lady of many graces. As a school teacher in Adams and Allen counties she became a favorite in a large circle of young people.
On March 10, 1864, she was united in marriage to John R. Peoples, and was ever known as a faithful, prudent, industrious wife and mother, toiling with her husband that their home life not be excelled by any, and that their four sons and four daughters should be invested with the best advantages of the times.
She always maintained a deep interest in the progress of the kingdom of Christ, and her last words in public are remembered as a strong and unusual plea for the continued faithfulness of the new converts of her home church. Her home was always the home and place of comfort for the minister. She was ever considerate of the wants and needs of her neighbor.
This sweet life of love and affection is gone from us, and as her body is laid to rest, devout friends can truly say of her:
"Oft have we felt the friendly glow,
That bubbled from her generous soul
Like as a spring, whose overflow
Yields cooling draughts to make us whole."
Loving care was given during her illness and last hours, and as the gray was lost in the blue, heaven gained another rich spirit, while loved ones stood with bowed heads submitting to the Will of God.
She is survived by her husband, John R. Peoples, sadly bereaved in this first sadness of the family; four sons, Samuel R., at home; John A. and Ferd, of this county; Alonzo D. of St. Louis, Mo.; and four daughters, Miss Maggie and Miss Susie M., at home; Mrs. Edna E. Brown, of Fort Wayne, Ind.; Miss Eva A., of Upland, Indiana; two brothers, David, of New Mexico and John, of Auburn, Ind.; and one sister, Mrs. Mary E. Brown of Decatur; several grandchildren and also a number of more distant relatives, together with many loving friends.
The funeral was held from the Methodist church Tuesday, at 10:30 a.m. conducted by the Rev. John C. White, assisted by the Rev. C. B. Daugherty. Interment was made at Maplewood cemetery.
