The Free Methodist, Chicago, October 12, 1887
Mrs. Sarah Field died at her home at New Diggings, Wis., Sept. 18, 1887,
aged 74 years.

Her last days were days of suffering to the body but peace to the soul.
When asked by a friend the day before she died how she felt she said that
all was well. But she could not talk. When she was visited by the pastor,
W. S. Waters, a few weeks before her death she asked him to bury her, and
requested him to preach to the living and not to the dead. With the help
of God he did preach to the living from the words, “Be ye also ready.”
He was helped wonderfully by the Holy Spirit. The remains were followed
to their last resting place by a large concourse of friends and neighbors.
Ten children, all grown, are left to mourn the loss of a mother. May God’s
blessing rest upon each and all of them, and may they remember the words
of the text: “Be ye also ready.” Submitted by a friend.
The Free Methodist, Chicago, October 12, 1887
