In a memorial on the same page it was noted that Sarah's mother's maiden name was Malott. MRS. J. W. NEWLAND GONE At 11 AM Wednesday, October 2, Mrs. J. W. Newland's life slowly ebbed away. She died seemingly without pain or struggle. Mrs. Sarah E. Newland was born the 28th of June 1832 and was at her death 69 years, four months and two days old. She was married to Dr. J. West Newland, October 1st, 1848. There were no children born to the union. In the 53 years of their married life their domestic life was serene and practically perfect. There were eight children in her family; four boys and four girls. Her sisters died young and three brothers are still living. They are Capt. Duncan, Clay Duncan and Coleman Duncan. Her oldest brother, Bolivar Duncan, passed away in 1883. Mrs. Newland was the daughter of Judge William and Mary Duncan, both of whom resided in Bedford and died here. They were pioneers of Lawrence County and lived among thrilling scenes and new surroundings. She has been a member of the congregation here for 48 year and among the noblest of the noble. She had a wealth of faith, a wealth of intelligence, a wealth of affection and a wealth that belongs to all the saints. She was truly a follower of God as a dear child. The funeral took place from the First Christian Church Friday afternoon and was conducted by the pastor.
