SARAH ELIZABETH DYSART.
Highly Esteemed Maiden Lady Passes to Her Reward.

  On Monday evening at ten minutes after 10 o'clock Miss Sarah 
Elizabeth Dysart, of near Tipton, passed to her reward.  For the past 
week Miss Dysart had been suffering from a severe attack of pneumonia 
and owing to her advanced age, her frail body could not withstand the 
ravages of the disease which ultimately ended her life at the above 
mentioned time.
  She was an exemplary woman in every sense of the word and was 
prominent in all benevolent societies and very active in the church 
with which she was affiliated.  Since early girlhood she had been a 
member of the Logan Valley Baptist church, of Bellwood, and was an 
active worker in all the societies pertaining to that church.  She was 
a woman of high character and was loved and respected by all who knew 
her.
  At the breaking out of the Civil war, Miss Dysart offered her 
services to the United States government and went to the front where 
she labored as a nurse in the hospitals.  Her hand soothed many an 
aching brow and bound up bleeding wounds for which she will reap her 
reward in the home where she has gone.  Not long ago she was added to 
the list of Unites States pensioners for the services she rendered 
during those dark days from '61 to '65.
  Miss Sarah Elizabeth Dysart was born at the old Dysart homestead at 
Tipton, December 6, 1837, and died February 1, 1909, aged 71 years, 1 
month and 26 days.  She leaves to mourn her death the following brother 
and sisters: Edward B. and Miss Margaret M., of Tipton; Mrs. Eliza B. 
Taylor, of Tyrone; Miss Florence and Mrs. Frank Stewart, of Huntingdon.
  The funeral will occur on Thursday afternoon at the Dysart home at 
Tipton.  Interment in the family cemetery at that place.
