Sawyer, was born in Kent, Litchfield Co., Conn., Feb. 27, 1815, and died in Nettle Creek, Sept. 16, 1876, aged 61 last February. She had lived in Illinois 24 years. She suffered much and patiently through the last sickness, of three weeks in duration, and departed this life in blessed hope of a better one in the Unseen Universe. She was a laborious and faithful wife, and unspeakable loss to her husband-a tender and solicitous mother, whom her four sons greatly loved and revered, and followed her in deepest regret to her last resting place. She is everywhere spoken of in terms of highest respect by her neighbors, and beloved by all who knew her. Departing this life in an experienced Christian hope, her record is also on high.
