    1. Abraham H. Sasser's obituary
    2. A. H. SASSER After an illness of only a few days. A. H. Sasser died Tuesday morning, July 7, 1925 at his home in the south part of Enterprise. He was taken ill last Thursday after he had gone to work at the East Oregon mill and attending physicians could not satisfy themselves to the nature of his malady nor could they stay its progress. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock at the Baptist church and will be conducted by Rev. R.E. Gilmore, paster of the Nazarene church. Abraham H. Sasser was born in Laurel county, Kentucky, April 5, 1864, and lived in his native state until 1903 when he came west, settling at Enterprise which remained his home to the end. He was married February 7, 1889, to Margaret E. Hammack, daughter of Rev. N. E. Hammack, before either family had come west. Mr. Sasser is survived by his widow, one sister living on Alder slope, Mrs. William Weaver, a sister in Kentucky and a brother in Oklahoma and the following children: Mrs. Nancy C. Tedders, Kentucky; Newton E. Sasser of Enterprise; Mrs Mary A. Daugherty of Enterprise, who is now at a sanatarium at Clarkston, Wash. ; Joseph Sasser, Mrs. Barbara McCormack, Chester Sasser, J. W. Sasser, Samuel Milton Sasser, Robert Sasser of Enterprise; Mrs. Louisa E. Stevens of California, who is on the way to Enterprise and will arrive before the funeral is held, and Susan E. and Foy A. Sasser of Enterprise. There are 30 grandchildren. All of the children are married except Milton, aged 24, and Foy, 14 , who resides at home with their mother. Two of Mr. Sasser's nieces are the wives of J. R. Hammack and W.J. Hammack. Mr. Sasser was an industrious and upright man, friendly and always ready to give a brother a lift. He worked for the East Oregon company for more than eight years, almost from the time the company started operations and everybody around the plant had a good word for him. He was converted at the age of nineteen, and continued in the faith until the end. He was a great lover and student of the Bible, having read the entire book three times and the New Testament several times. In his early Christian life he spent much time reading the Bible to his parents and all thru his life he spent much time reading his Bible to his family. He was devoted to singing old time hymns and spent many hours singing in the home. His life was exemplary to the family, having never taken the name of the Lord in vane. He was much devoted to his wife, children, and grand- children, much respected by all, and will be missed greatly. He joined the United Baptist church in early manhood and was faithful to that faith.
