BORN IN PREBLE COUNTY. OHIO,
OCTOBER 31, 1834.
DIED AT HUNTINGTON, INDIANA.
JUNE 1, 1897.
IN MEMORIAM.
There was surprise in all parts of the city this morning when the death of Mrs. H. B, Sayler was announced. While it was known to a few that she was confined to her room on account of indisposition, the public was unaware that her sickness was of a dangerous nature. In fact her condition was not particularly alarming until yesterday afternoon and evening, when symptoms of approaching heart failure were manifested. Digitalis and other heart remedies were administered but her life seemed gradually ebbing away until ten minutes after i o'clock this morning, when the end came. At her bedside were the husband, Judge Sayler, son S. M. Sayler, Mrs. J. M. Sayler, and others near to the family. J. M. Sayler could not be present on account of a severe cough which so disturbed his mother that he deemed it advisable to remain absent from the room.
Isabella Sayler was born October 31, 1834, in Preble county, Ohio, and was therefore sixty-two years and some months old. During her girlhood she manifested a studious disposition and acquired an education fitting her for the profession of a school teacher, in which she was employed until her marriage to Henry B. Sayler, which was January 17, 1856. After marriage she moved with her husband to Winchester, Ohio, and after a short sojourn there, they located at Eaton, O., remaining for only a brief period. The next move was to Indiana, and Delphi was the town in which they first resided. It was in May, 1859, thirty-eight years ago, that Mr. and Mrs. Sayler moved to Huntington, and excepting a year's residence at Indianapolis and Connersville, they have resided here ever since.
She became a member of the Presbyterian church March 3, 1861, and remained faithful to every obligation of the church from that time until her death. She was prominently identified in temperance work and was a leading light in the W. C. T. U. organization of this city. She was uncompromising in her temperance principles and believed that every effort possible should be exerted to wipe out forever the liquor traffic. This temperance zeal made her a strong advocate of woman's suffrage and prohibition, as she believed that the end sought could only be reached through legislation brought about by temperance ballots. Long after the frail form had scarcely the strength to do the bidding of the mind, she was punctual in the attendance of W.C.T.U. meetings.
In fact the last meeting of any kind which she attended was a W. C. T. U. convention at Andrews, held May 20th. It was at this gathering that she contracted a severe cold, which caused her fatal sickness. In this death the W.C.T.U. loses one of its most faithful members.
Mrs. Sayler's acquaintance covered a wide field, and during her travels with the Judge, and brief sojourn in cities where he had official business, there were always friendships formed which became lasting. Though exceedingly retired and unassuming, she carried with her a friendly, cordial spirit which made friends and kept them. There will be many to mingle their tears with the grief stricken Judge and his sorrowing sons, on account of the loss of this good wife, mother, neighbor, friend and coworker in various religious movements. The Herald extends its profound sympathy to the family.
The obsequies will be conducted at the late residence, on Etna avenue, Thursday afternoon, at 2:30, Rev. Henry L. Nave officiating. Pall bearers will be Col. C. E. Briant, Nehemiah Brown, Jacob Mishler, Thad Butler, J. C. Favorite and U. S. Lesh. The remains can be viewed from 9 to 12, Thursday. Interment will be in Mt. Hope cemetery.
