[Transcribed on November 29, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] This community was shocked when Sarah E. RUSH passed away at her home in Solsberry, where she had lived for the past few months. She had been in poor health for some time but the end was not expected so soon. She was the oldest of the seven children born to Isaac and Louisa COX, born near Hobbieville, Indiana, Mary 4, 1856, and passed through the vale of death February 29, having reached the age of seventy-five years, nine months and twenty-six days. At an early age she became a member of the Hobbieville M. E. church of which she remained a loyal member. She was not only loyal to one church, but to all. She longed to see the time when all churches would be united. She was united in marriage to George RUSH October 14, 1883. To this happy union came five children to bless the home, which can truthfully be said they were a blessing in the home, administering to every want and need, always trying to make mother happy and make father's life brighter. Although an invalid for almost eleven years she was patient, never complaining, and put forth every effort to regain health. She could be designated by both young and old as a true wife, a most loving and cheerful month. Those who knew her loved her; even the little children enjoyed being in her presence. They brought sunshine to her by the coming. It can truly be said of her that she loved to serve, not only in her own home, but where help was needed. She was always happy when making the life of a neighbor or friend better and happier. She was one of God's noble women, which was proven by her daily life, not laying up treasures on earth but in heaven. She was preceded to the Great Beyond by an infant daughter and two brothers, Morton and James H. The remaining brothers are Millard, of Hobbieville, and Quince, of Bloomington; two sisters, Louella READ, of Bloomington, and Mrs. Emma RAINBOLT, of Bloomfield. She also leaves a kind and most devoted husband, two sons, Theodore, of Oolitic; Bert, of Owensburg, and two daughters, Minnie GILLILAND and Lula JOHNSON, of Solsberry; five grandsons and one granddaughter to mourn her passing. One little grandson, Robert, who made his home with her, and Russell, who made his home with Grandpa and Grandma HENRY, passed away about two years ago. This was a great loss in each home where they became rays of sunshine - AN APPRECIATION To the dear people of Solsberry and community, we want to give expression of our heartfelt thanks for the many kindnesses bestowed upon us during the illness and death of our wife and mother.
