Journal-Enterprise, Waverly, Illinois, August 2, 1907
Sarah A. Mitchell was born in England April 16, 1842, and died Tuesday morning, July 30, 1907, at the Price Sanitarium in Springfield, Ill., where she had gone for an operation. After the operation inflamation attacked the brain, resulting in meningitis, which caused her death. She came to this country from England when eight years of age, and with her parents lived near Waverly until her married to Larkin A. Bryan in 1860. The young couple moved to Springfield, where they spent the following eight years, after which they moved to Waverly, where they resided up to the time of her decease. To them were born five children, three of whom have preceded their mother across the strand, and two remain to mourn her departure; Mrs. Lavinia Hammel, of Waverly, and Jas. W. Bryan of Greenfield. These, together with her lifec ompanion and four brothers and two sisters, are left to mourn in sadness her departure, but we trust mourn not as those who have no hope. Neither would we forget her many friends, for their name is legion, who carry in their minds a fond recollection of her life and its devotion to duty.
She loved her family but for nothing did she show a greater love than for her church and its appointments, and her place was never vacant, except for a good reason; but now must say farewell, we to return to our place of duty here, while she enters upon a higher service above.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church at 3 p.m. Thursday, August 1, 1907, conducted by the Rev. C. Andrew Coleman, her pastor, followed by interment in East cemetery.
