SARAH ELIZABETH DUKE

LIBERTY SPRING

   Oct. 1 - Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Duke, the beloved wife of J. Walter Duke, died 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.S. Powell, near Suffolk, early Saturday 
morning. Her death was a great shock to her many relatives and friends, as she 
left home on Monday as well as usual and expected to return on Wednesday, but 
was taken sick and never returned.

   The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. I.O. Johnson, at 
Liberty Spring church on Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock, amid a large crowd of 
friends, and her remains were laid to rest in the church cemetery.  She is 
survived by her husband, one daughter, three brothers, one sister and a host of 
friends. She was a kind wife, a loving mother, a good neighbor, and will be 
greatly missed in her home, church and community.
