Southren Christian Advocate, May 21, 1896
 Southern Christian Advocate, Macon, Ga., LXI, no. 48, May 21, 1896, 
p. 166, col. 3-4: 
	STALVEY - Mrs. Sarah M. Stalvey was born August 11th 1831, and died, 
after a painful and protracted illness, March 27th, 1896. Sister Stalvey was 
married to Rev. Isaiah Stalvey August 4th, 1853. Fourteen children, seven sons 
and seven daughters, were the fruits of their union. She was also stepmother 
to seven children of her husband by a former marriage. Three of her own 
children and one of her stepchildren preceded her to the better land. On April 
3d, 1878, she was left a widow with ten children in the home to be cared for, 
the youngest being only two years old. Truly the promises of God were verified 
to her and others that He is a husband to the widow and a father to the 
fatherless. As her pastor I had the sad pleasure of visiting her but once 
during her sickness. She was a great sufferee, and bore her pain with patience 
and Christian resignation.
She joined the Methodist Church and was converted in her early youth, 
remaining steadfast to the end. A short time before her death she expressed a 
willingness and readiness to depart and be with God. For her to die was gain. 
She leaves several sons and daughters and a host of friends and relatives to 
mourn her loss, but their loss is her eternal gain. She was laid to rest in 
the church yard at Socastee. “She is not dead, but sleepeth”.
