Hollis, Sarah A.
Delphos Republican, Apr 21, 1899
DIED:- At the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J.E. Ferguson, Sunday April 16th, 1899, Mrs. Sarah A. Hollis, aged 87 years, 7 months and 9 days.
Grandma Hollis, as she was universally known, was one of the pioneers of Delphos. Her strong character and uniform kindness won for her a place in the community which will be hard to fill. For her friends and all well disposed people her heart had a warm corner, but for evil doers she had no use further than to sympathize with them when in trouble. Some time ago she had a stroke of paralysis from which she never recovered.
The funeral services were at the M.E. Church, of which she had long been an active member, at 2 p.m. Tuesday the 18th, Rev. Allen officiating, after which her remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband, who preceded her to the better land several years ago, in the Delphos Cemetery, a large concourse of relatives, neighbors and friends attending to pay the last offices to mortality. All must die and how fitting that at a ripe old age, at the end of a well-rounded life, its burdens are laid aside and the weary soul peacefully wings its flight to the evergreen shores of eternity.
