SARAH ANN STEPHENS (nee PRUETT)was born August 18, 1818, died November 3, 1900. Married ISAAC STEPHENS October 11, 1838. To them were born 10 children; of these seven are living. She joined the Church of Christ (referring to the Primitive Baptist) in the year 1856; and being the wife of a deacon, she endeavored to accompany him to the house of God, and at all times her walk was such as becometh women professing Godliness, and manifested that inward adorning of the heart with a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God a great price... She rests from her labors and her works do follow her... Written by (Elder) JOHN T. SATTERWHITE Note: Tombstone inscription at Mount Pisgah Cemetery- SARAH A. STEPHENS, August 18, 1818 - November 3, 1900 "Let me die the death of the rightous, and let my last end be like His" (The death dates in the obituaries of SARAH A. STEPHENS and husband ISAAC STEPHENS that were submitted to "The Gospel Messenger" conflict with the dates found on their tombstones.)
