The Home Journal (Perry, GA), Thursday, 15 December 1898, page 6, column 5
Death of Mrs. Hickson
     Last Saturday night, December 10th, Mrs. Sarah Hickson died at the home 
of her son, Mr. Jas. A. Hickson, about 5 miles south west of Perry.  The 
burial was in Evergreen cemetery at Perry Sunday afternoon, attended by a very 
large number of relatives and friends.
     For several years she had been in declining health, and 11 weeks was 
confined to her bed.  Her departure to eternity was the triumphant culmination 
of a long life well spent.  She was born in North Carolina, and would have 
been 83 years old on January 3rd, 1899.
     Her father, James Means, moved to Georgia when she was five weeks old.  
For 70 years she was an exemplary member of the Methodist church.  She was the 
mother of ten children, seven of them surviving, all of whom attended her 
interment:  M. H. Hickson of Cordele, Mrs. C. T. Simmons of Snow, W. R. 
Hickson of Macon county, Messrs S. W., J. A., and F. M. Hickson, and Mrs. J. 
E. Cheek of Houston county.  She was the sister of the late Dr. M. H. Means 
and Mr. William Means of Elko.
     Her death was only a transformation from earth to Heaven, a truly good 
woman having been called to her eternal reward.

Additional Comments:
Sarah Frances Means was born on 3 January 1816 in North Carolina, the daughter 
of James Means & Mary Ann (McKenzie) Means.  Sarah married Seaborn Hickson on 
22 December 1829 in Upson Co., GA.
