Obituary.
The following is in memory of Mrs. Sarah D. Hamilton, wife of Armistead Hamilton: Died of Tumor, June 14th, 1891, in full hope of a blessed immortal ity [sic]. Mrs. Sarah D. Hamilton, aged 75 years, 2 months, 14 days. She was born in New Jersey, but grew to womanhood in Franklin Co., Ind. She made a profession of religion in her 16th year, and joined the Presbyterian church and remained a member of said church a number of years. She was united in marriage Nov. 22d, 1837 to Armistead Hamilton, and moved with him to Knox county, Mo., where, with her husband, she became a member of what has since grown into Pleasant Valley Baptist church. In those early time there were but few churches, very often she would take her children and go horseback to Newark to church. Her health has been on the decline since she was dangerously ill two years ago; no one expected her recovery; but she was spared for some good a little while longer, which she enjoyed. She was always cheerful, willing to look on the bright side of life; her greatest pride was in denying self that she might make others happy. About two weeks before her death, she told us what she wished to be buried in, and in what room to lay her out; then she told her children that Jesus could make a dying bed as soft as downy pillows are, told them not to weep that she was going home, where there's no sorrow. Once she shouted — Glory to God. Bless his holy name she whispered. When the death angel called she went — without a struggle, in a calm sweet sleep. Oh! methinks the shining One was there to light up the vale of death. Thus she fell asleep in Jesus; her spirit returned to the One who gave it; her body in the grave awaits the resurrection morn. Oh! thank God for the quickening spirit's work, not only in converting the soul but for his final work in the resurrection of the body, the sound of the last trump — this is all to be by the same spirit that now dwells in us. Her four children methinks, now greet their mother in glory. By her request Brother Collins assisted by Brother Crouch preached her funeral from Hebrew 8-10, to a large congregation of sorrowing friends in Bee Ridge Chapel. It was a sermon full of gospel truth, long to be remembered by her church and friends. — A DAUGHTER.
