Obituary of Sarah Jane Lawrence, Hardin County, Illinois Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives Copyright 1999 Wanda Reed Name of Deceased: Sarah Jane Lawrence Name of Newspaper: Hardin County Independent Date of Newspaper: 4 April 1929 Sarah Jane Lawrence, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Davis was born in Hardin County, Illinois July 18, 1843. She professed faith in Christ when young and united with the Christian Church at Stone Church from which she never removed her membership. She was married to John Stone about the time of the Civil War and after his death was married to John B. Lawrence in 1872. She was the mother of eleven children all of which but two are living. At the time of her demise, which occurred on March the 30, 1929 at five a.m. she was living with her son Alex, who resides at Commerce, MO. She has made her peace with God; she is not dead but just removed from earth to heaven where she will wait for those she left behind. She cannot come to us but we can go to her. There was a crown waiting for her but she had to separate from her body to get it. We will miss her that is true, no person on earth can fill her place in our hearts but she is at rest and we are not yet. We ought to rejoice that she is out of her troubles. The body was laid to rest at Stone Church March 31; funeral at Stone Church. ------------------------------------------------------------------ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
