HOPEWELL
That grim old reaper Death has once more come into our midst and snatched from us one of our best beloved, Miss Sarah E. Freeman died at her home in Hopewell on Thursday, April 2, at 2 p.m. Miss Freeman was born, Oct. 24, 1845, in Hopewell. She was the daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Elijah Freeman who were a number of years ago called to their Creator. While doing her work at home about seven weeks ago, she fell and fractured her hip and has since been a constant sufferer, which she bore with Christian fortitude. She leaves three sisters and one brother – Mrs John Gluntz, Mrs John Gustafson, Miss Sidney Freeman and Samuel Freeman – to mourn her departure. She was converted and joined the Christian Union about 30 years ago and has continued a faithful worker and a true believer to the last. She gave up hope of recovery and was perfectly resigned to her fate as she made known by saying, "The will of the Lord be done." The funeral services were held at the late residence on Sunday, April 5, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. Rev Stead of Lacon delivered a touching sermon, after which they proceeded to the Harris cemetery in Hopewell where she was interred. Thus after a useful and godly life lasting 57 years, 7 months and 10 days, she was taken from us and now rests in the land of the blest.
