SARAH E. GRIFFIN

   Mrs. Sarah E. Griffin, age 68 years, widow of the late L.E. Griffin, died 
January 25, 1922, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.P. Minshew, near Boykins.

   She had been failing in health for several months, but was confined to her 
bed for only six weeks.  During this time, in spite of the care of loving 
hands and hearts and of her faithful physician, she continued to grow worse. 
She bore it all with the sweet, submissive spirit shown through life as 
Christian, friend and mother, never murmuring, but  answering  everyone with 
a smile, saying "I’m better," until the end, and passed away in a sweet, 
peaceful sleep.  She is survived by four children; Mrs. Annie L. Ward, 
Battleboro, N.C.; Mrs. A.P. Minshew, Boykins; Miss Lizzie Griffin, 
Williamsburg, and J.E. Griffin, Petersburg.
