Mrs. Sarah E. Pyron
One by one the southern gentlewomen of the old school antebellum type are passing away and ere long there will be only a memory left of them. Such was Mrs. Pyron who passed from earth to Heaven at the age of seventy nine years and ten months at Pleasant Hill, her home in Taylor county, Ga., on the afternoon of February 12th 1908, after a long and painful illness which she bore with christian fortitude and patience. Born at Poplar Grove, Oglethorpe county, Ga., April 29th, 1828. She was the daughter of Rev. Nicholas Powers, a native of Dublin Ireland and a graduate of Dublin University. He was a Methodist minister of splendid intellect and education. Her mother was Mary Gilmer, sister of George R. Gilmer who was twice Governor of Georgia.
With such cultured, pious parents it is not surprising that their daughter developed into the lovely, splendid woman that she was. She was twice married, first to Mr. W.C. Eshom of Columbia county, Ga., March 24, 1853. Two little boys were the fruit of this union both dying in early childhood. She was married to Mr. Josiah Pyron, November 15th 1860, a widower with four children to whom she was a true mother. Nobly did she fill the difficult relation of step-mother. Only one, the youngest survives to mourn her loss, she is Mrs. I.F. Griffith of Mancos, Colorado. Seldom does any woman reap the reward of love, gratitude and reverence from not only children, but step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren that she did. Of the second marriage five children were born, only two remain, Mr. C.L. Pyron of Reynolds, Ga. and Mrs. S.D. Anthony who lived with her. They did all that could be done to make the evening of her life happy and serene.
Her attachment to her home was so strong that she never left it to live with her children. It was the Mecca to which all turned, sure of a tender, loving welcome, especially when Christmas and summer vacation rolled around. All, both old and young were eager to gather at the dear old home. What happy days were spent, what sweet memories left to be cherished by them.
She had been for many years a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church, her membership at the time of her departure being with the old Crowell church.
Her piety was deep and steadfast, no cloud obscured her hope of salvation Jesus Christ.
With a long useful life well spent, with each duty conscientiously performed with a loving tender heart for all she was ready when the call came for her to "come up higher."
She was buried by the side of her husband in the little family cemetery at Pleasant Hill there to await the resurrection of the Just.
