On the Hamilton County, Nebr. mailing list a lady was offering to send information from clippings she had kept over the years. One of the names listed was Sarah Woolsey. Of course I sent that e-mail off right away to ask for the information and she sent the following. "Sarah Woolsey, 77 Is Laid to Rest Funeral services for Sarah Woolsey, 77, longtime resident of the county, were held from the Chapman-Higby Chapel on Thursday February 17, 1949 at 2 o'clock, Elder A. A. Dirwsen, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church of Grand Island was in charge of the services. Beverly Little, Carolyn Miller and Mary Ann Bunley of the Platte Valley Academy sang "The Beautiful Land", "My Ivory Palace Home" and "Sweet Be Thy Rest" accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Charles Whitney. Miss Sarah Woolsey, was born in the State of Illinois, Champaign County, January 9, 1872. She was the daughter of Alonza and Elizabeth Woolsey. She came with her parents, in the early life, and together, as a family the Woolseys settled in Hamilton County, near Aurora, Nebraska. The days of her life were spent in deeds of kindness and mercy, in and near Aurora. She went to her rest, Monday, February 14, at the ripe age of 77 years, 1 month and fifteen days, sweetly trusting in the Mercy of her Master whom she had served faithfully since in early childhood. We have faith to believe that she sweetly rests in Jesus awaiting the Call of the Lifegiver, in that great day when the sounding of the trumpet of God and the Voice of the archangel will call to life "the dead in Christ" to receive their reward for the life they have lived. She leaves to mourn her passing, two brothers, W. S. Woolsey of Dalton, Nebraska, and Grant Woolsey of Ogallala, Nebraska; two sisters and two brothers, having preceded her in death. As a young lady, she learned to know the Message of a Soon-coming Saviour. To be ready to greet her Saviour in peace, at his Coming has ever been the hope and ambition of her life. As a faithful member in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, until the date of her demise she will be greatly missed. The little city of Aurora, has lost a Christian friend, a Dorcas, a Tabitha. "Full of good works". In her community she will be greatly missed, as a friend and neighbor. God's promise to His children, comes to us like a star of hope, in an hour like this, they rest from their labors; their works to follow them. Until that great day when all tears shall be wiped away, may God comfort all who mourn. Pallbearers were Elmer Eberhardt, Roy DeMaranville, Floyd Hoffman, Walter Craft, Floyd Carnes and Harry Gallentine."
