The Henry County Weekly,  April 8, 1932
IN MEMORY OF MRS. T. S. ELLIOTT
     On Friday, March 4th, 1932, there passed out of this life unto the great 
beyond the soul of one, the loss of whom is mourned by a host of relatives and 
friends, Mrs. T. S. Elliott.
     She was Sara Elizabeth Peek, born in Rockdale County, July 10, 1840, 
married to T. S. Elliott January 1, 1865, coming to Henry County a young bride. 
Lived in the same house in which she passed away 66 years.
     She found her Savior when but a girl and it had been her chief desire to 
follow and serve Him during the many years that followed. She was indeed a 
consecrated woman, and loved her church, her Bible was her companion, her home 
life was beautiful and the devotion of her children had helped to lengthen her 
stay in this world.
     She was the mother of eight children, the daughters of which preceeded her 
to the grave, namely Miss Ellen Elliott, Mrs. Tom Fargason, and Mrs. I. W. 
Crumbley. Those surviving her are Mrs. J. J. Knight, Mrs. C. C. Hinton, and 
Mrs. C. G. Crumbley, Mr. W. J. and J. R. Elliott, forty grandchildren, sixty-
four great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren.
     Funeral services were conducted from the residence by Gordon L. Brooks. 
Sunday March 6th, 11 o’clock, and the remains laid to rest beside her lamented 
husband in the family cemetery.
     God bless such mothers, would it be like God to create such beautiful, 
unselfish loves most like the love of heaven of any type we know, just for one 
four score years and twelve? Would it be like Him to let souls together so that 
wrench them apart for eternity?
     What is meant by such expressions as risen together, sitting together in 
heavenly places. If they mean anything they mean recognition, friendship, and 
enjoyment. Our friends and loved ones are not dead nor asleep they are living, 
they are near us always and God has said, “We shall know each other there.”

What shall we find at the end of the road,
The road where sunset lies?
Will there be more of joy and less of pain
Under those beckoning skies?
Will the colors deepen as I draw near
Or will they fade into grey?
For the road is long, and the road is strange
That I travel day by day,
What shall I find at the end of the road
When I’ve said my last good bye?
When I hear from far off the silent call
The call of souls to die,
What shall I find at the end of the road
When the last long mile I’ve trod?
Find? I shall find all I have prized on earth
Of my hearts love, Home and God.
