OBITUARY: Sarah J. Head, 30 Oct 1889 - Smith County, TX Submitted by Vicki Betts 7 December 2002 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ***************************************************************** TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, November 21, 1889, p. 7, c. 5 HEAD.—Sister Sarah J. Head, wife of W. P. Head, was born in Fayette county, Ga., Aug. 9, 1847, and died near Mount Sylvan, Smith County, Texas, Oct. 30, 1889. She joined the M. P. Church in 1865, at the age of eighteen, and afterwards joined the M. E. Church, South, in which she lived till death. She was the mother of twelve children, eleven of whom now live, and six of them are devoted Christians in our church. Sister Head was a model Christian woman, and her godly influence was a stay to her husband and a guide to her children. Though a great sufferer, she was punctual to attend the public services of the Lord's house, during which she was often made happy in her Savior's love. She bade each good bye with an affectionate kiss, till they should meet again in that land where no farewells are said. May her guardian angel attend the pathway of her husband and children until they shall greet her in the city of God. W. H. CRAWFORD.
