In St. Francis county, Union township, on the 2d instant, after a long and painful illness, of cancer in the right breast; which she bore with Christian fortitude, Mrs. Sarah Calvert, consort of Col. John W. Calvert. Mrs. Calvert was a NATIVE of Lewis county, Kentucky, and a citizen of Arkansas fifteen years. In her death society has lost a valuable and worthy member. No female was more beloved by her friends or unanimously respected by her associates. She was courteous and accommodating to the rich, charitable and friendly to the poor; her unassuming manners and moral deportment have placed her reputation beyond the reach of impeachment, and her memory will long live in the recollection of her relatives and friends. 07/17/1839 Arkansas Gazette Copyright With Permission: Forrest City Times Newspaper Weston McCollum Lewey, Publisher-Times Herald Publishing-Forrest City, Arkansas
