On the 24th of April, 1881, Mrs. SARAH E. ABELL joined the innumerable caravan
that moves silently and unceasingly to the other world. Mrs. Abell was born in
North Carolina 1823, and at an early age emigrated to Tennessee, thence to Texas
in 1841. In 1847 she was married to Mr. Wm Bridge, by whom she had two surviving
children. Mr. Bridge died in 1862, and the subject of this sketch was married to
Mr. J. C. Abell in 1864, who died in 1879. Mrs. Abell was a lady in whom
centered all the virtues essential to the formation of a happy home and deep and
lasting friendships. Thoroughly unostentatious she performed her part with the
perfection that can only arise from the inspiration of pure love, guided by
clear judgment, and has, we believe, received the verdict of eternal justice:
"Well and faithfully done, enter thou into joy and sit down by my throne." We
condole with her surviving relatives upon their irreparable loss in being
compelled to bid her a final adieu. [Interment in Columbus Odd Fellows Rest]
