>From the Flora, Indiana, newspaper, undated but about 1923: "SARAH CALLANE, PIONEER FLORA RESIDENT, PASSES AWAY. "Following a short illness with a complication of diseases which developed into pneumonia Sarah Callane, wife of the late Richard Callane and a pioneer resident of Flora, died at the home of her step-daughter, Mrs Frank Lesh, on South Center street, early last SUnday morning at the advanced age of 79 years 10 months and 1 day. "She was born near Lancaster, Ohio, January 17, 1844. In her early young womanhood deceased left Ohio and located at Cerro Gordo, Illinois, where she was united in marriage to Richard Callane, on March 15, 1881. "Immediately after their marriage they settled near Flora, where they spent the remaining years, Mr Callane departing this life on October 21, 1919. "She leaves one step-daughter, Mrs Frank Lesh, with whom she made her home since the death of her husband and at whose hands she received the tenderest care to the last moment of her life; also one stepson, W E Callane, of Lebonan; four sisters, Lizzie Pierce of Columbus, Ohio; Jemima Neubauer of Lancaster, Ohio; Rose Hamm of Cerro Gordo, Illinois and Rebecca Beery, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and three brothers, William Snoke, George Snoke and Oliver Snoke, all of Lancaster, Ohio; three stepgrandchildren and one step-great- grandchild. "Mrs Callane united with the Church of the Brethren in June, 1877 and for almost a half century had been a consistent christian. She had given to God 46 years of faithful service. She loved her church, serving for many years as a deaconess with her husband as a deacon. "She was found faithful and as a step-mother she was much loved. Her step-children rise up and call her 'blessed.' Her memory they will treasure. In her love they lose the love of a real mother, the community a friend and neighbor and the church a devoted member. But the world will be richer for the heritage she leaves it. "She has laid aside her armor For a robe of spotless white, And with Jesus she is walking In the realms of Heavenly light. She is calling, gently calling, Sweetly calling us to come, And we're looking through the shadows For the blessed lights of Home. "Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Flora Church of the Brethren by her pastor, H C Early, from Revelations 14:13. Burial was made in Maple Lawn cemetery." **************Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos. (http://autos.aol.com/used?NCID=aolcmp00300000002851)
