FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, January 21, 1916 AGED WOMAN PASSES AWAY Mrs. Sarah Arnold departed this life on January 13, 1916, from her home at Knob Lick, where she had lived practically her entire life. She was 75 years, 4 months and 13 days old, and advanced age and general debility was the cause of her death. Deceased had been practically an invalid for the last seven years of life, and the end was not unexpected. Mrs. Arnold was a devoted Christian, a devoted wife and mother, a loving friend, and a gracious neighbor, loved by all who knew her, and while her family and friends deeply mourn her transition, they realize that she has only passed on to a richer inheritance. The husband, John Arnold, met death from a blast in a rock quarry 31 years ago, since which time the widow has continued to live on the old place, rearing a large family of children, ten in number -- five girls and five boys -- seven of whom are still living, all of whom are respected residents of this vicinity. Interment was in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Knob Lick, by the side of the husband. The children wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to the many good friends and neighbors for the many kindly services that were so graciously extended during the last hours and funeral of their sainted mother.
