The Marshall Herald, Friday, February 7, 1930, page 3
   Sarah Alice Eckles, daughter of George and Mary Eckles, was born September 
18, 1858 and departed this life at 11:00 o’clock Thursday morning, January 30, 
1930 at the age of 71 years, 4 months, and 12 days.  She was born in Sullivan 
County, Indiana.  In early childhood she moved with her parents to Lower 
Wabash where she spent the remainder of her life.
   On May 12, 1876 she was united in marriage with Wm. S. Pine whom she loved 
and cherished for over 53 years, hand in hand together.  By toll and great 
perseverance they worked for the care and support of their family of 14 
children, 8 girls and 6 boys, two of whom have preceded her in death, Nellie, 
during infancy and Daisy in 1905, leaving three little children, Gertie, 
Virgil, and Mabel, whom she took in her arms and mothered as her own.  Besides 
the husband she is survived by the following children:  Mrs. Flossie Craig of 
Marshall, Mrs. Flora Carty of Terre Haute, Mrs. Goldie Cox and Mrs. Edith 
Geisert of Los Angeles, Calif., Mrs. Grace Snedeker of Dunlap vicinity, Mrs. 
Alma Tingley, Clarence, Ross, Clyde, Pete Fred, and Cliff of Lower Wabash, 
also 27 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, on brother, Rev. Bert Eckles 
of Marshall, whom she took into her home and also loved and mothered during 
his boyhood days; three sisters, Mrs. Lou Liffick of Grand Turn, Mrs. Nora 
Downey of West Terre Haute, and Mrs. Ida Wyrick of Kansas Station, and many 
other relatives and friends.
   During early girlhood and she gave her heart to God and united with the old 
Baptist church.  Later with several of her children, under the pastor ship of 
Rev. D. H. Rupp, she united with the Cooper Chapel Church.  Owing to home 
cares and failing health she has been unable to attend church services during 
late years.  All through her life one of her chief thoughts was leading and 
guiding her family so they might go with her to her heavenly home, which was 
her last request.  Although having ailed for many months, her great will power 
kept her going so she only had to keep her bed for one week.  All that loving 
hands could do was done, but to no avail for God knows best in all things.  
She loved her home dearly and was a faithful companion, loving mother, and 
friend to all.
   Funeral services were held Sunday morning at 11:00 o’clock at the residence 
with Rev. W. H. Eirhart officiating.  Interment in the Marshall cemetery.
