OBITUARY

On Wednesday, April 9, 1913 at 4 o'clock the beautiful life of Mrs. Sarah Ann 
Fuller came peacefully to a close, aged 71 years, 5 mo., 6 days, after many 
years of patient suffering and fruitful service and in her quiet, unobtrusive 
way her pathway has been strewn with noble deeds and many will rise up and 
call her blessed.

Born in Park Co., Indiana, Sept. 3, 1841, Sarah Ann Ephlin lived her young 
life until her marriage to Rev. A. F. Fuller when they removed to Iowa and for 
thirty-three years she worked side by side with him as a Presbyterian minister 
in that State, six years at Burlington and twenty-seven years at Panora, Iowa, 
where their name is revered as workers for God and humanity in those early 
days, and stand alongside with the most prominent in that state.

To this union were born two sons, H. B. Fuller and M. A. Fuller of Fruitland, 
Minnie Fuller, now Mrs. James O'Hara, of Nampa, all who survive her and 
lovingly attended her during her months of patient suffering. In the year 
of '94, March 14, her husband passed to his reward and the mother followed her 
children to Idaho in 1902, first to Nampa, to her daughter who was a teacher 
in the public school of that place, and two years ago to her sons here. Last 
October she became seriously ill from a malady that had troubled her all her 
life, heart trouble, and dropsy, and everything was done for her that loving 
hands could do, for their lives were wrapped up in their mother, but in their 
grief too deep for words they bow to the inevitable and in the words of the 
children's poet say:
We will be patient and assuage the feeling
We may not wholly stay
By silence sanctifying not, concealing
The grief that must have away.

The funeral services were held at the home Saturday 11 o'clock, conducted by 
Rev. M. D. Reed of Payette and as he read John 14 and 1 Thess. 4, the words of 
promise and comfort reached the hearts of the sorrowing and as the 
hymns, "Nearer My God to Thee," "Asleep in Jesus" and other songs of comfort 
were sung we were constrained to recall

There is no Death! What seems so is transition,
This life of mortal breath,
Is but the suburb of the life Elysian
Whose portal we call Death,

Many beautiful flowers by family and friends were laid on the casket that held 
their beloved mother and friend.

Interment was made in Riverside Cemetery, Payette, largely attended by their 
many friends from Fruitland who extend to them their deepest sympathy in their 
deep loss.
