OBITUARY
THE CHARITON LEADER
Chariton, Iowa
Tuesday, July 3, 1945
MRS. SARAH ANN GILBERT
Sarah Ann Thompson, born Sept. 4, 1857 in Kansas, and passed away at her home in Chariton, Iowa on June 27, 1945, at the age of 87 years, 9 months and 23 days.
She moved to Wayne county, Iowa, when young with her parents, where she grew to young womanhood.
She was married to Jacob W. Gilbert on March 13, 1877, who died Jan. 3, 1915. To this union six children were born, one son and five daughters, three of whom are living, Maisey Gilbert of Chariton, who was at home with her mother; Mrs. Cora Adcock, also of Chariton; and Mrs. Effie Anderson of Humeston. The son, Donnie, of Chariton, and two daughters, Mrs. Pearl Strouse, of St. Paul, Minn., and Mrs. Minnie Weller, of Albia, preceded her in death.
One sister and two brothers also survive her. They are Mrs. Ella Hight, of Bridgewater, Iowa; Grant Thompson, of Belleville, Kansas; and Andy Thompson, of Townsend, Montana. There are also twelve grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren.
She had three grandsons in the service of their country, Gerald Adcock, stationed at Spokane, Wash.; Selby Weller, in the Pacific area; and John Strouse, who lost his life in Ireland. Three great grandsons, Paul and Bill Adcock, and Keith Mason are also in the service.
At the age of ten she was converted and lived a faithful Christian life until death.
How feeble are words to carry consolation to hearts bereaved of a beloved mother. No one can fill her place in a vacant chair: no one will take her place in their hearts, and they would not have the void filled even if they could, as she had suffered poor health for so long.
It will be a sacred thought in the years to come to children and friends, that she shed a radiance in her home as long as she did. It will be a blessed recollection that her family grew up to love her and were at her bedside to give her every possible comfort in her last hours on earth. Her memory will be tenderly cherished by all.
Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. Everett Hollingshead, were held at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Assembly of God church, and burial was in the LaGrange cemetery.
