From the Skidmore, Missouri New Era newspaper, May 26, 1910, page 14:
Sarah Shaw Warren, daughter of B. M. and Adeline Warren, was born November 18, 1824 in Orange County, North Carolina. She moved with her parents to Missouri and settled in Clinton County in 1839. On October 31, 1841 she was united in marriage to William R. Holt. To this union were born nine children: Margaret F., Mary E., Susan A., Cornelia J., Benjamin F., Emily F., Missouri A., Barton C., and William L. of which three are living. Missouri A. Linville, Skidmore, Conrelia J. Collins, Quitman, and Barton C. Thomas, Oklahoma. Beside her three children she is survived by one sister, Mrs. Jenkins of Guthrie, Oklahoma who is now in her 81st year and was at her bedside when she died, and eleven grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren.
After her marriage she and her husband moved to Andrew county and in 1844 they emigrated to DeKalb, where they resided for four years, when they came to Nodaway settling the large Holt farm southeast of Quitman in 1848. On this farm she has resided until her death, May 18 1910, aged 85 years and 6 months. William Holt died May 16, 1896, fourteen years ago, at his death the estate was sold to their son-in-law, Ambrose Collins.
Sarah S. Holt united with the Christian church in 1849, and lived a consistent and faithful member of that body ever since. She was one of the charter members of the Christian church at Quitman. It will be seen from the above dates that she was a citizen of Nodaway county for 62 years and a member of the Christian church for 61 years.
Aunt Sallie Holt was not only a faithful member of her church, but was just as faithful in believing that it was her duty as a Christian to do the will of her Master at all times. She was always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need both in acts of kindness and in words.
The deceased was the mother of a large family, some of whom have "silver threads among the gold," as a reminder that they, too, are nearing life's sunset. As the death dew gathered on her marble brow, around her bedside gathered her girls - always girls to her, though now grown to mature years with boys and girls around their own firesides, and there with tearful eyes they watched the ebbing out of that life which had so long been interwoven with theirs and which had cared for them all through these years with the filial affection which none but a mother can give.
Let us if possible, gather up some of the elements of the life of the departed one and weave them a picture for the walls of memory. None ever entered her home without a glad welcome nor left without feeling the warmth of a genuine hospitality. Her whole pathway of life was marked with kind deeds and words of cheer. She everywhere scattered flowers and not thorns, sunshine and not shadow; truth was the inspiration of her life and by kindness she exemplified its great worth. Although ripe in years and frail in body, yet today the eternal springtime with everlasting glories belong to her, for had she not sought in the early days of her young womanhood, the pearl of great price and made it the chief among the jewels of her life's hopes. This was the fountain of the maturity of her character and the inspiration of the intervening years which made her life so full of consistent plan and wise action.
Impressive funeral services were held Friday afternoon in the Christian church at Quitman conducted by Elder S. D. Harlan. An overflowing house of sympathizing neighbors and friends were present to pay their last sad rites and due respects to one who had lived a life of usefulness in their midst. After the services at the church, all that was mortal of this grand old mother in Israel was tenderly carried to the Silent City, where by the side of a devoted husband she now rests in peace.
