A Sad Death

Our community was made to feel unusually sad on Wednesday morning Aug. 1st, at 
the announcement of the death of Mrs. Sarah J. Montfort, wife and companion of 
Mr. Richard Montfort, which sad event occurred at her home in Butler at eleven 
o’clock.  Mrs. Montfort had been in feeble health for the past twelve months, 
but declined more rapidly for the past three weeks, and when called by the 
angels to a brigher, more peaceful and happier world that this they found her 
ready – only waiting for the summons of her Master to come up higher.  Her 
death was peaceful and happy and though sad was no surprise to her family and 
friends.  She was perfectly rational almost to the moment of her death and 
appeared as though the grave had won no victory.  Mrs. Montfort  was in the 
61st year of her age, joined the Methodist church early in life and lived a 
devoted member of the same.  As a wife, a mother, a neighbor and a friend she 
could not have been excelled and in her death our community and those whom she 
loved most dearly have suffered an irreparable loss.  She was married to Mr. R. 
Montfort in March 1841; to them were born ten children, three of whom have 
preceded her to a home beyond the skies; seven of still survive, whom we trust 
will emulate the virtues of a devoted mother.  The funeral exercises were 
conducted at her late residence on Thursday by Rev. M.A. Phillips assisted by 
Rev. J.T. Adams and her peaceful form laid to rest in the cemetery near the 
Baptist church.  To the bereaved loved ones the sympathy of the entire 
community is extended.
