Tampa, Fl. Hillsborough County, Friday, October 5, 2007. Smyth County News.
Mrs. Grace King Sayers Wife of Early Sayers, quietly passed away in Her home 
on Cherry Street Tuesday, May 27th. after a long and distressing illness. She 
had been ill for weeks and early in Her illness had felt a conviction that She
could never get well. Her friends and family doing all in their power to for Her
comfort and cheer, often tried to dissuade Her from this feeling but She seemed
to know that Her time was coming and nothing could shake Her conviction. While
awaiting the end with certainty She was not afraid nor concerned for Herself,
but was agonizinly concerned for Her Children, about to be left Motherless. As
She had lived unselfishly devoted as Wife and Mother with little thought of Her-
self but all for Her loved ones, so She died. Trusting implicitly in Her Savior
She passed to the Mansion prepared in Her Fathers house, distressed at leaving
Her little Ones but entrusting Them to the care of Him who is faithful to every
trust. Her last Prayer was for Her Children; Her last request of Them that they
so live by faith in Jesus as to meet Her in Heaven.
She was born forty three years ago near Mt. Carmel in Smyth County the Daughter 
of John W. and Mary Hubbell King. She leaves to mourn Her loss, besides a host
of friends who honor Her memory, Her Husband, Early Sayers and four Children,
Roxie, age 22; Richard, 12; Marigold,8; and Albin, 5; One Sister, Mrs. T. K. 
Sayers of Marion, Va., and four Brothers: James, Charles and Jake King of 
Saltville, Va. and Oscar King of Tamms, W. Va. 
The funeral service the first to be held in the new building of the Presbyterian
Church of which She had long been a faithful and valued Member, was conducted by
Her Pastor Rev. G. A. Wilson, Jr. on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 28th. Her
Brothers and the Brothers of Mr. Sayers acted as Pall Bearers. Interment was in
the cemetery near Attoway, where Her body lies beside the bodies of two of Her
Sons both of Whom died at different times by drowning one as little baby and the
other as a young man just entering upon a business career.
A good Woman, a devoted Mother, a true Christian, She lived and toiled for 
others and laid down Her life on the alter of Service.
