Mrs. Sarah Alice, wife of R. J. Abernathy, died at the family home on Reiger Avenue in Dallas this morning at 8:45. Her death had been expected for the past several weeks as the result of a stroke of paralysis some time ago. She had been suffering from Bright's disease for several years.

The body will be brought here for burial, and will arrive on the Texas and Pacific at 4:05 tomorrow afternoon. If the weather is favorable, the body will be taken at once to the Willow Wild cemetery, where the funeral services will be conducted by G. D. Smith of Dallas, a life-long friend of the family. If the weather is threatening, the services will be conducted at the First Christian church.

The deceased was the oldest daughter of the late C. B. Hunt and wife. She was born in this city on Dec. 19, 1859. She was educated at Carlton College, grew to womanhood, married and lived here all her life until the family moved to Dallas some four years ago. She was married to R. J. Abernathy on January 9, 1878. To them seven children was born. The eldest, Aubyn, died in childhood. The others are living.

For many years Mrs. Abernathy had been a member of the Christian church, having been baptized by the late Chas. Carlton. As long as her strength permitted, she was active in church work. Of late years she had suffered much, and her physical strength had failed; but she did her part as best she could in the work of the home,the church and in other spheres. As wife and mother she was faithful and true, and she has reared a family of sons and daughters who are an honor to her and to the state. She has many warm friends in Bonham, to whom her heart always went out after she left here, for Bonham always seemed like home, and Bonham friends were never forgotten. Neither did Bonham friends forget her and her family. Her work is finished, the race is won, the crown of victory is hers, for she fought the good fight, she kept the faith, she was faithful unto death.
