Sarah Rebecca Sutton was born at Moores Illinois, Ripley County, Indiana, January 10, 1855 and passed away at her home in Emerson, March 1, 1939 at the age of 84 years, 1 month, and 12 days.
On the 26th of March, 1874, she was united in marriage to Charles Edwin Carr and to them was born four children, Mrs. Florence E. Short and Byron L. Carr of Emerson, Mrs. Hazel Flockheart of California and Rose Myrtle, who died in infancy.
There are also two grandchildren aside from the relatives who are mentioned above and others.
She leaves a large number of friends to mourn her parting. Her husband passed away September 9, 1920.
Mrs. Carr came to Emerson as a girl of 16, thus spending 68 years in this community. Here was not only the unique experience of seeing the development of this great agricultural midwest but she took an active part in that development; here was the experience of stepping from the slow moving age of ox-team to the swift moving age of the tractor, the automobile, and the airplane, and from the flicker of the candle-light and its refrigerator power and may other vast and wonderful improvements now in common use.
She was for many a member of the Women's Relief Corps of this city, in which she was ever active, being imbued with the spirit of American patriotism and love of country. She was also a member of that fraternal organization, the Order of the Eastern Star.
In 1878, she united with the Methosist Church of this city and was baptized by the Rev. W. J. Beck in the Nishna River west of Emerson and they at that time had as their place of worship, the C. B. & Q. depot. Mrs. Carr loved her God, her Christ, and her church and gave unstintingly of her time and means to the support of the church. She was faithful and regular in her attendance until advanced age forbid her going.
We are laying to rest one who was a faithful mother that lovingly cared for her family-they in turn tenderly and lovingly cared for her in her advanced years-and gave of her best to humanity in general and to the community in particular. May her soul now rest in the bosom of her Lord.
Burial was in the Emerson Cemetery with E. B. Gomer in charge.
Those from a distance attending the funeral were Thurl Blackburn and his sister, Mrs. David Rinehart of Council Bluffs.
