"SARAH TAYLOR, born Nov. 8, 1818; April 19, 1838 married Joseph Thompson, Fredericksburg; died Dec. 31, 1901, age 83.
The subject of this short sketch was born in Mfflin Co., Pennsylvania, coming with her parents to Wayne Co., Ohio, away back in the 20's of the last century. She was an eye-witness to the social, intellectual, and moral progress of this great state during the last sixty and more years. She was married to Joseph Thompson on the 19th of April, 1838. *** Her husband died March 8, 1863, leaving his widow with a large family to breast the wave, with no son on whose arm she could lean. Facing the battle, she with her daughters took up the work where Mr. Thompson had laid it down, and trusting to that Strong Arm that never fails, she was able to clear the farm of debt and see her daughters all reared to young womanhood, when one and then another left the old home to go out into homes of their own, till again she is alone, but still keeping the old place as the host of her children and children's children multiplied. Eighteen grandchildren were wont to fill her house with gladness and when some of these have outgrown the childhood years and sport, like a morning light cheering the evening twilight, ten little great-grandchildren visit the old home to take the place of her own girls and their children. The hand that led her in the morning of her life, that shaded her in the heated noontide when sorrow bowed her down, that, supported her during that long afternoon of anxiety and gathering clouds and care; that same Loving Hand still held her hand when the shadows of evening fell athwart her path. She was identified with eighty-two years of history of the last century and permitted to see the first year of the new century close its books, and when the shadows of evening began to fall the light of glory was seen by her and she entered into rest. On Thursday the 2nd inst., a large company of people gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to this aged mother so worthy, The pastor of the United Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg, of which church she has been a worthy member for more than half a century, officiated. We laid her to rest there to await the resurrection. In very truth she came to her grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season. - Rev W. J. McClintock.
