    3. Does anyone know where this family is buried? Unknown Publication, September 1889 TOMSON - At 11 a.m., Wednesday, September 11, 1889, Sarah Keziah, eldest daughter of T.A. and K. Tomson. Funeral services Friday forenoon, by Eld. W. G. Finlay. Deceased was born in Hardeman County, Tennessee, November 13, 1840 (1880 Miller Co. census calculates her birth year ~1843). She became a member of the Christian Church in Early life, possessed a superior and vigerous mind, a patient, enduring spirit, which were present to the last. All who knew her loved her because of her excellent qualities and Christian graces. She leaves aged parents, two sisters and five brothers to mourn her departure, all of whom were present during her last hours except the eldest brother, in Illinois, Mrs. Wright of Arkansas, and Dan, temporarily absent at Fort Smith. "A precious one from us has gone, a voice we love is stilled, A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled the boon his love had given, And though the body moulders here, the soul is safe in Heaven." TOMSON - AT 11 A.M. Sunday, September 29, 1889, Jennie Vann, youngest daughter of T.A. and K. Tomson. Funeral services Wednesday forenoon. Deceased was born in Hardeman County, Tennessee, May 4, 1857. She was a lovely, bright and gentle child, but became a sufferer in girlhood, from which she never fully recovered. In her disposition she was reserved, in manner quiet and unassuming, and but few, if any, ever became really acquainted with her. The death of her dear sister, less than three weeks prior to her own overwhelmed her with grief. She died in the midst of loved ones, her aged parents, only surviving sister, Mrs. J.M. Wright, and the entire family, save one, being present. Her death was typical of her life-peaceful and calm, and as she serenely breathed the departing breath she seemed to fall asleep in sweet repose. "Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep! A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes."
