DEATH OF MRS. SARAH A. COVILLE
Mrs. Sarah A. (Ford) Coville, wife of Sylvenis Fletcher Coville, was born in England on Jan. 9, 1842, and died in Callington, Md., on April 8th, 1915, from the effects of a paralytic stroke, aged 73 years, 2 months, and 29 days. Very early in life she made a public profession and united with the U.B. church of which she was a member until they moved to Huntington county several years ago, then she lifted her certificate and joined the M. E. church. Her profession in childhood was done, we believe, sincerely unto the Lord. From that time until the time of her departure she was a consistent follower of the Lord. And was deeply interested in the church and in the saving of souls. She had many times expressed herself as being prepared for the great change, giving every assurance that all was well with her soul, her departure from earth was peaceful. She was the mother of six children, namely: Mrs. Mary Prindle of Ridgeway, Pa.; Emmett, of Oregon; Mrs. Annie Briggs, of Shade Valley; Miss Millie Coville of Maryland; Clara and Gertrude, deceased. Her husband and children will deeply feel their loss, but they are not the only ones, for she had many friends. She was always ready to administer to the sick and afflicted and heaven only will reveal the reward she will receive. Her sun has gone down, but the influence of her life still lives. The body was brought to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Briggs, on Saturday evening and funeral services were held in the Richvale M. E. Church by the pastor in charge, Rev. S. J. Pittinger. As the friends and sorrowing relatives were taking a final view of the remains, the choir sang in a touching manner “ Meet Mother in the Skies.” The pallbearers were Samuel A. Bitting, Robert C. Bitting, John Rhea, George Goshorn; W. D. Bethel funeral director. The body was laid in the Shade Valley cemetery to await the resurrection morn.
We have lost our darling Mother,
She has been us all adieu;
She has gone to live in Heaven
And her form is lost to view.
Oh that dear one, how we loved her!
Oh how hard to give her up!
But an angel came down for her,
And removed her from our flock.
