SARAH A. BARNES FELTS 

   Mrs. Sara A. Felts, widow of the late P.B. Felts, died at the home of her 
niece, Mrs. Ernest J. Harrell, Port Norfolk, Va., July 11, 1918.  For the past 
fifteen years she had made her home with her cousin, Mrs. W.L. Worrell, near 
Boykins.

   She was loved and respected by all who knew her and it can be truly said 
that "A good woman has gone to rest."  Her sickness was of short duration, 
lasting only three days, when -

    "She saw a hand we did not see; / 
     Which beckoned her away,' / 
     She heard a voice we did not hear; / 
     Which would not let her stay.

   To see her was to love her and to know her was to praise her.  We feel that 
her place can never be filled in the home she was so devoted to.

   The burial service was conducted by Rev. Porter Hardy of Boykins and her 
body was laid to rest in the family burying ground by the side of her husband 
to await the resurrection morn.
