Sarah Jane Rogers Dye-
Sarah Jane Rogers was born February 11, 1842, and died September 24, 1902. She 
came with her parents to Iowa and settled in Monmouth and lived here until the 
day of her death. She married Nathan G. Dye, September 29, 1865.
Sister Dye was in many respects a remarkable woman. She was a choice spirit 
with a kindly word and helping hand for all. Her piety was scriptural, deep 
and earnest. Her reliance in the word of God and her faith in prayer were 
wonderful. She was deprived of church privileges for many years, her faith 
shone with the same clear steady light and no murmur escaped her lips. She had 
no fear of death. She had gazed so long on the face of her Redeemer, that her 
nerve, like that of Stephen, reflected the heavenly glory. If at times her 
mind wandered, her pure spirit was so filled with divine love, that even 
dreams and visions were of heaven. She often desired to go and be at rest 
forever. During the last few weeks of her illness she sang some of the old 
hymns of the church she loved so well. The scenes at her bedside before she 
breathed her last will long be remembered as a example of the triumps of 
Christian faith and love.
The funeral was held Saturday in the M. E. Church, services being conducted by 
Rev. Thomas Carsue, her pastor. A large concourse of people followed the 
remains to the cemetery. Mr. Dye in this great affliction has the sympathy of 
the entire community.
