Died in Madison county, Iowa, on the 6th of April, 1883; Mrs. Sarah E. Boyles, in the 27th year of her age. Mrs. Boyles was the daughter of Geo. White, of Norwalk. She was born in Linn township, Warren county, Iowa, in the year 1855, and was married to ber bereaved husband, Milton Boyles, Dec. 9th, 1877, with whom she moved to Madison county and remained there until removed by death. Sarah White ls a name familiar to many here. The name of one who has been known; and respected from her earliest childhood. She was of a kind and cheerful disposition, casting rays of sunshine on all around her. She was followed to her last resting place in the Norwalk cemetery by a large concourse of weeping friends and neighbors, there to rest in
quiet sleep until that day when all that are in their graves shall hear that voice that call Laxarus from the grave and restored him to his weeping friends. She died in a hope of a glorrious immortality and a happy greeting of friends in that land where death is never known. A lonely home, a sorrow stricken husband and three little children to realize in all its fullness "What is home without a mother!'' The skill of the most skillful physician is exhausted, every want that affection's hand could administer was supplied; yet despite all we can do, our dearest friends are torn from our embrace and consigned to the grave . W e gaze upon them for the last time and turn away feeling that earth has lost its every charm. Life in all the future is a gloomy blank, and a dreary road is that to the tomb.
