Mr*. S. A. P»tt.r.on
Mrs. Sarah Patterson was born
January 19, 1875, in Oconee county,
South Carolina. She married July
28, 1901 to Mr. S, A. Patterson and
moved to Worth bounty, where she
made her home until death claimed
htr August 17, 1910.
She had been in poor health for
several years and was not able to
be out of her bed for about three
months. She bore her illness with
patience and without complaint.
In September, 1914, she joined the
Methodist church during a revival
being conducted by Rev. F. A. Rat-
cliffe, and thereafter enjoyed a very
bright religious experience, frequent
ly mentioning Rev. Batcliffe and his
sermons.
The remains were laid to rest in
Salem cemetery.
She is survived by her husband,
five children, five brothers, three
sisters and a widowed mother, her
father died several years ago.
Cheer up, loved ones, don’t grieve,
for the God she loved so well and
talked so much about could not mako
a mistake; and while it is our loss it
is heaven's gain. I know it is lonely
without mother, but the same Jesus
she loved so well will guide us all
through and dear mother will be at
the gate to welcome us to the heav
enly land.
