The Enterprise, June 1, 1906
In Memoriam Sara C. Turner
  In as much as God has seen fit to remove from us Sara C. Turner, on account 
of the good wrought by her labors and the influence of her noble Christian 
character, we mourn our loss and pry our humble tribute to one ever held bear by
us all, and the influence of whose character shall never die.
  We were all dazed at the unexpected news of her death, and until yet it is 
hard to realize that Sara has passed to her reward. A great loss and a great 
pity for us, for one so pure, so kind and good, to be carried to the skies, 
when we need her so badly in this world. Heaven was richer on her arrival and we
are poorer by our loss; but still we are rich in memory of the deeds she did,
and kindnesses shown. How our memory lingers! Our eyes fill with tears and we 
can write no more. But we shall ever hold her friendship dear and treasure in 
our hearts the many things that words fail to express.
  Her's was a life of service, spent for Christ and for those with whom she came
in contact. How could one do more in twenty two years than she did, make no
enemies and leave all who knew her to mourn her departure. Happy at her duty,
she was not content at doing nothing. Her friends begged her not to work so 
hard, but work was for her a pleasure and she was not content until she felt 
that her duty was done.
  School children and Sunday school class, may God bind up your broken hearts
and inspire you with a hope and desire to meet her on that beautiful shore in a 
land that is fairer than day. To you has been commended her beautiful character;
take her life as an ideal, and strive at all times to do just as you think she 
would under your circumstances. Hard indeed it is, to give her up; but the good 
alone are fit to die. In tributes paid to her memory she has been described in
her fairness and purity as "rosy cheeked and lily-hearted." Another has compared
her life to that of a beautiful perfect flower, transplanted by the Almighty 
Hand from earth to Heaven, leaving us only the fragrance- an apt and a beautiful
comparison to the weight and influence of her noble character.
  She has gone forever from this world and nothing we can say or do will bring 
her back. We can only hope to go where she has gone; and may God be with us 
until we have crossed the bar and met our Pilot face to face.
A. B.
