DIED – Sarah J., wife of I.B. Bassett, at 4 o’clock on the morning of Dec. 2nd, aged 36 years, 7 months and 17 days.
Her disease was consumption of which she suffered intensely for the last 6 months. She with a younger sister were left orphans at an early age, and therefore had to meet many of the hardships of live. She was born and raised in Coles county, Ill., was converted at ten and joined the M.E. church to which she has belonged ever since and died in great peace. While sick she often expressed a willingness to depart. She was a faithful wife and devoted mother. The bereaved family have the sympathies of the community.
