Sarah Elizabeth Austell

KIMBROUGH, Sarah Elizabeth - Tribute of Respect - At a regular

meeting of Grumsey Grange No. 523 held on the 27th day of November

1875 the following resolutions were adopted on the death of our worthy

sister, Mrs. S.E. Kimbrough, who died near Dutch Mills, Washington county,

Arkansas October 23rd, 1875. Whereas it has pleased an Allwise Providence

to remove from us our highly esteemed sister and friend, Mrs. Sarah

Elizabeth Kimbrough; Therefore be it resolved, 1st. That in her death our

order has lost a valuable member, the community a most tender friend and

her husband and child an affectionate mother and wife. None knew her

but to love her. 2. That we tender to her bereaved husband and relatives

our heart-felt sympathies at this, their sad bereavement. 3. That in the

death of this amiable lady the community has lost one of her brightest

jewels, dutiful, affectionate, kind and patient. She filled all the relations of

daughter, sister, wife and mother; she was the idol of the family and en-

deared to every one who knew her; to family and friends she left the consoling

reflection that she went down into the valley and shadow of death

having no fears but with a full hope of blessed immortality beyond the

grave. Signed, W.T. Anderson, H.J. Walker, J.H. Greenhaw, G.I. Bennett,

Committee. [Fayetteville Democrat 1/15/76]
