Died.
In the city of San Francisco, August 3rd, 1872, of old age, Sister Sarah D. Meader, aged 68 years.
Our aged sister was born in the State of New York, October 2, 1804; became associated with the Latter Day Work in 1842. After the rejection of the church, and when all eyes became obscured with darkness, she, in connection with her worthy companion in life, saw it only in the Brighamite faction; and when its leaders sought isolation upon the Pacific shores, they were found among the first emigrants, who by the ship, Brooklyn , via Cape Horn, arrived upon the shores of the golden land in 1846, and fully shared in the troubles and anxieties of that eventful time. Although greatly disappointed in their expectations, they remained steadfast and true in the hope of Christ as revealed to them in the Latter Day Work, satisfied of errors existing they withdrew from that faction, became steady watchers for the day of God's mercy towards his people, and saw joyfully it dawn, and embraced the Reorganization under the administration of Wm. W. Blair, November 11th, 1868. Her sudden demise, after an illness of but a few days, awakened marked sympathy for the bereaved ones amongst the very large circle of friends, in and out of the church, who in large numbers attended the obsequies to pay the last rites of respect to the honored dead.When consigning to casket containing the remains to the tomb, hymn 859 was sung by the vast concourse, creating profound solemnity in weeping hearts.We mourn her absence only, believing that she died in the glorious hope of a better resurrection, to reign with Christ for evermore.
