Sarah Hyatt Cutchin, 86, died February 1, 1986. Born February 1, 1900 in Ansonville, she grew up in Anson County. She was one of eight children born to Addie Dula Hyatt and Sidney Hyatt. The 1920 US Federal Census lists her as a public school teacher in Laurel Hill (Scotland County), NC. On June 24, 1924, she married Clarence I. Cutchin from Whitakers, NC in Edgecombe County. They lived in Greensboro, NC (U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989) and Houston, TX (1940 United States Federal Census). After her husband's death in 1949, Sarah returned to Anson County to live the remainder of her life in the place she loved. Her talents were in the visual arts of decorating and painting. She will be remembered by the portraits of friends she painted and by her guidance in decorating the parlor at her church. Sarah was an art illustrator for Frank Laubach's "Each One Teach One" literacy program that taught people to read in their own language.
To some people, Sarah was a private person, but she had a compassionate heart for the less fortunate. One person said of her, "She had the most caring Christian heart for the less fortunate of anyone I have ever known." A counselor for many black children, she was instrumental in securing school lunches for children who had little or no food at the Faison School in Wadesboro, NC.
Of the eight brothers and sisters, the only survivor is Mary Hyatt Mullins of Bainbridge, GA. Also surviving are three nieces and a number of grand nieces and nephews.
A memorial service was held at First United Methodist Church in Wadesboro Tuesday, February 4, 1986 at eleven am.
Mrs. Cutchin's remains were placed alongside those of her late husband in Dallas, TX.
