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.
