Mrs. S. S. Choat, pioneer, passed away at her home in Albion last Thursday morning, April 12.
Sarah Ann Cox, daughter of Granvil and Neala C. Cox, and one of twelve children, was born on January 23, 1855, at Sparta, N. C., and died April 12, 1945, at 4:45 a.m. at the family home in Albion, at the age of ninety years, 2 months and twenty days.
January 27, 1873, she was married to Solomon S. Choat, in the state of Missouri, where they made their home in a log cabin until the spring of 1887, when they journeyed to Nebraska by covered wagon and settled on a farm in Madison county. The following year they suffered the hardships experienced by many of the pioneers and witnessed the blizzard of 1888. They lived in this community until 1912 when they moved to Albion.
During the past several years she has been in poor health, spending the time in a wheelchair or in her bed. But she was a patient companion until the end. Last year they observed their 71st wedding anniversary in the quiet of their home.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Choat were members of the Baptist church in Missouri, but after coming to Nebraska united with the Methodist church. They have been members of the Albion Methodist church since 1913. Until she became confined to her wheelchair, Mrs. Choat was a regular attendant at church services.
She is survived by her aged husband, now past ninety; two sons, William of Albion and Moses of St. Edward; one daughter, Mrs. Erma Gabelman of Petersburg; and by Mrs. Grace Goodwater of Albion, a granddaughter who was raised as one of the family; nine other grandchildren; two great grandchildren; and three sisters, Mrs. Susan Johnson and Mrs. Fannie Conver of Hamburg, Iowa and Mrs. Phoebe Miller of Mount Claire, Neb., also mourn her departure.
Three daughters, Mrs. Laura Radle, Mrs. Mattie Finis and Mrs. Rossie Hanks preceded her in death.
Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at two-thirty, conducted by Rev. E. C. Mitchell. Burial was in Rose Hill cemetery.
