Sarah F. Rankin Williams was born at Cromwell, Union county, Iowa, on March 15, 1874; died of typhoid fever at a hospital in Dallas, TX, Jan3, 1908, aged 33 years, 9 months, 19 days. Deceased was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Rankin. For several years she was a faithful member of the Sunday school and obeyed the gospel and became a member of the Church of Christ in Allerton, Iowa, on Feb 1, 1891. She graduated from the Allerton high school in 1892, and was married to Jasper L. Williams Nov 7, 1894. In the hope of improving her husband's health they moved to the west in July, 1896. She leaves a devoted husband and baby daughter, together with parents, brothers, sisters and a very large circle of distant relatives and friends who will long cherish her memory for her excellent qualities in life.
Directing attention to I Cor. xv. 57, "Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord," our tribute in part is: As a girl she was modest, bright and industrious, beautifully filling her place in the home, and equally so in the school, and with the fine class of noble young people with whom she graduated.
For several years she was a member of what was called the model class in the Sunday school-a class noted its regularity in attendance and the earnest study and rapid progress not only in the lesson assigned, but of the Bible in general. Therefore in a great meeting in the winter of 1891 the entire class with other young ladies (nearly 30) obeyed the gospel and began the earnest work of disciples of Christ, no one of whom so far as I know has drifted away or fallen from the profession of faith them made.
This good sister maintained it with hope and courage is health and sickness and until death. She was as brave as she was modest, with home and courage for any task in the line of duty which made her as faithful as she was loyal in all the relations of life, ever ready to go where duty called. It is not so importance that one should live a long life as it is that they should live a righteous life. The extension of life only adds further opportunities and subsequent responsibilities.
This daughter, wife and sister has fought a battle of life with faith, hope and love most commendable and this coupled as it is with the exceeding great and precious promises of an incorruptible inheritance should cause us to wipe away tears and sorrows over her death, and help us to join with the great apostle in thanks be to God who giveth such a victory, and cause us to become every day more firmly settled and grounded in the hope of eternal life knowing that "our labor is not in vain in the Lord."
