Mrs. Sophia Savage, wife of Wesley Savage, of near Sang Run, this county, was born Nov. 20, 1833, and died at her home, of pneumonia, on Feb 4, 1901, aged 67 years, 2 months and 15 days. She was a daughter of John S. Friend and was converted when about 17 years of age and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was a faithful and consistent member for fifty years. For the past twenty years she had been an invalid, and although often a great sufferer, yet she was always cheerful and contented. She was a diligent reader of the Bible and at the time of her death was reading it through for the twelfth time. She leaves a husband and nine children to mourn her death. The names of the children are Mary E., wife of Winfield Savage (deceased); Annie L., wife of R. M. Enlow; Lou A., wife of Geo. W. Moon, Emma J., wife of W. A. Smith; Maud, wife of H. B. Ferguson, and Bruce, Dellie Murettie and Hallie at home. The remains were interred in the graveyard on the farm of Judge D. H. Friend, where she awaits the archangel's call at the resurrection of the just. She will be greatly missed, not only by member of the family, but by a large circle of friends. But we'll see her again in that day. D. A. FRIEND The Republican Feb. 28, 1901
