Wayne County Outlook
9 Feb 1922
The death angel visited our home and claimed for it's own our dear sweet Aunt Sarah Nancy Eads, daughter of Preston and Susan Hunt Eads, both of whom preceded her to the heavenly shores and stood with beckoning hand, no doubt to welcome her, their only daughter, home to rest.
Aunt Sarah was born Dec. 9, 1857 and died Jan. 6, 1922, aged 64 years and 28 days.
She is survived by two brothers, J.E. and T.J. Eads, both of Eadsville, and a host of other relatives and friends left to mourn their loss. But we feel that our loss is her eternal gain, and we can't think of Aunt Sarah as being dead, but only gone on Home to await our coming.
She professed faith in Christ on Nov. 18, 1874 at the age of 17 years and united with the Baptist church and lived a consistent member until death.
Aunt Sarah contracted that dreadful disease bronchial pneumonia and only lived seven days. God said enough and she went Home to be with Him and loved ones gone on before.
How dreadfully she suffered, only those who stood by her bed and watched the feeble lamp of life burn lower and lower, can imagine, until at 4 o'clock p. m. she sweetly fell asleep in the arms of Jesus. It seems so sad to think that never again can we welcome Aunt Sarah to our home, but we know that she is waiting to welcome us to our Heavenly Home, for she said before she died: "The sun is shining over yonder and mother is over there and I am going in the morning. So why should we grieve after her and we pray God that we may bow in humble submission to His will.
Aunt Sarah would always go to help take care of any of us when we were sick, and waited on her dear mother through her affliction for twenty-one years till God called her to rest.
All was done for Aunt Sarah that we could do, but God had called her to come home and she went to her reward.
A cherished one from us is gone;
A voice we loved it still,
A place is vacant in our home,
That never can be filled.
