THE MARYVILLE RECORD November 4, 1904
Friday, November 4, 1904



Sarah Lawrence was born December 1, 1820, in Blount County, Tennessee, and

lived in Blount County all her life except a short time in infancy when her

parents lived in McMinn County. At the age of fourteen, she professed religion

and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, living a consistent

Christian life all her days. In November, 1843, she was united in marriage

with James Montgomery, who departed this life in March, 1897. Her last illness

was of long duration, but through it all she manifested Christian fortitude

and patience, which had characterized her whole life. She always had a good

word for everyone and was never known to say anything unpleasant of anyone.

All who knew her were her friends. Her step children loved her as dearly as

her own children, and she in turn knew no difference between them. She

suffered from cancer, which caused her death on Tuesday morning, November 1,

1904, at the age of 83 years and 11 months. She leaves 5 daughters, three her

own and two step-daughters. Two brothers, William Lawrence and Joe Lawrence, a

sister, Mrs. Curtis, survive her, as well as ten grandchildren and fourteen

great grandchildren. Since the death of her husband she had made her home with

her daughter, Mrs. W.B. Howard, and had lived in Maryville the past six

months. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. S.T. Wilson Tuesday

afternoon, and the remains laid to their last rest in Trigonia Cemetery,

Wednesday.



Last Sunday in Sevier County, Walker McCarter shot and killed Charles Marrow,

aged 18, as the result of a political quarrel.



Sweet Community---The little babe of George Johnson died last Thursday and the

remains were buried in the Campground Cemetery.
