Spirit of Democracy Sept. 6, 1894 page 8 Died--Sarah M. Pratt, wife of Elmer Pratt of Bellaire, and daughter of George and Lydia Huffman, aged 32 years , 6 months, 4 days. She died at the home of James Barker of Jackson township, August 30, and was interred in the West Union cemetery August 31. Sister Pratt was the mother of two children, a boy and a girl. She has long been a victim of that dread disease consumption, but perfectly resigned she patiently waited for the summons to come that would call her from her sufferings to the "rest that remains for the people of God." She leaves a father and mother, brothers and sisters, a husband and two children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her premature death. She was a kind obedient daughter, a loving wife, never once forgetting her plighted faith to the companion of her bosom; she was a kind and attentive mother, a true christian and a zealous worker in the cause of Christ. She was loved by all who knew her and it seemed that those who knew her best loved h! er most. A noble record was hers and I would say to sorrowing ones, "dry your tears; weep not for Sarah; she has gone to her rest in peace with God and mankind; she has gone, but not lost." The funeral services were conducted by the writer assisted by Rev. Mr. Ward of Antioch. I spoke to a large audience from Psalms 30:5. May Heaven's blessings be with the bereaved companion and God's watchful care and protection be over the motherless children. D.W. Harkins hope this helps Sara Richardson Kelly
