In Memoriam
Written by Ella Mott

Mrs. Sarah Pittman, wife of Starling Pittman, of Taylor County, Ga., deceased, 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Mott, of Macon County, after a long 
and painful illness sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.  She was born in South 
Carolina January 1798 and died April 8, 1894, age ninety-six years and three 
months.  She had been a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church for 
seventy years and was a lady wholly consecrated to the service of the Master.  
She was buried at Bethlehem the day following her death.  She has been called 
by an all wise and loving Father from the busy turmoil of earth.  Her body 
slumbers in the grave, but her pure, gentle spirit has “returned to the God who 
gave it,” to rest in Paradise until the resurrection morn, when the grave shall 
give up the dead, and shall be resurrected to newness of life to meet the 
blessed Son of God, in whom she trusted for salvation, and who hath 
declared “she is not dead but sleepeth.”  “O grave, where is thy victory?”  
Thanks be to God, our hearts though torn by the separation, through faith 
exclaim, “The Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord!”  In 
the “sweet bye and bye” we hope to meet her on that shore, in a land where 
there will be no sorrow, pain, nor death, and where God shall wipe away all 
tears.
