In Memoriam
  Sister Sarah A. Skelton was born Dec. 21st, 1825. The daughter of John
and Sarah Loyall. Was married to William A. Skelton in December 1845. Joined
Salem Baptist church by letter June 19th, 1875. Died Dec. 16th, 1908. Three
children, Powel W., Thomas N. and Miss Pickey Skelton, survive her, all of 
whom made her heart glad by enlisting in the service of Christ.
  Her life, and precautions in life, typified that she was traveling the
straight and narrow way that leads to Life Everlasting.
  The glory of which our Lord hath seen fit to cut from our- view. The
melody of which He hath not allowed us to hear. The fullness of which is 
beyond our conception.
  While we regret to lose Sister Skelton from among us that we too ere
long must go, and may our hands be filled with deeds of charity, the golden
keys by which we can open the Palace of Eternity.
  Whereas: We, the church, believe it to be, not only our privilege, but
our duty to keep the best possible record of our departed.
  Therefore be it resolved first; That a copy of their report be entered
upon the minutes of this church.
  2nd. That a copy be furnished the county paper of Rockdale county for
publication.
  3rd. That a copy be furnished each of the Newton county papers for 
publication.
Henry W. Costley, James H. Peek, J. M. Mitcham, Committee.
