IN THE DEATH OF MRS.SARAH SAMPSON CARSON--wife of Mr.S.B. CARSON, which occurred
at her home in Ripley on Saturday night, July 20,1907, another name has been
stricken from the ever lessening roll of our older settlers,and the aged
husband,who shared her companionship for forty years, and two sons and three
daughters are left to attest now sadly they will miss her. These tender human ties
cannot be severed without a pang ,yet in such a death there is really no cause for
grief;her life work had been well done;her path marked with deeds of kindness and
cheer;and flowers, not thorns;sunshine,not shadows;did she scatter everywhere.With
these she was lavish. Truth was the inspiration of her life,and by kindness she
exemplified its great worth. Was her life full of God-likeness? RIPLEY ENTERPRISE.
Mrs.Sarah CARSON was the last surviving child of Judge Isaac SAMPSOM.She was born
and raised in Dyersburg,and when growing up,was pronounced one of the most
beautiful women in West Tennessee.In her death ends the entire SAMPSOM family.All
have gone to their reward.Frank G. SAMPSON,father of Mrs.R.M.HALL,was clerk and
master of the Dyer County Chancery Court,while his brother,Wat B. SAMPSON,was the
Circuit Clerk.Their father,Judge Isaac SAMPSON,held many positions of honor and
after the war,he was Judge of this Judicial Circuit.He died in the 70's.
