In a letter from Sarah's daughter, "Bernie", to Effie J. (Holt) Newsome, of Emporia, VA, "Bernie" informs her half sister and family of their mother's death and describes the last few days. I have been trying to find this information for the past nine moths and just found this letter in bundles of letters and post cards that have been in my parents home for the past 25 to 30 years. Don't overlook these resources in your own home!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
