ELLIOTT, SARAH A.
7/18/1893
Sarah A. Elliott nee Johnson, the subject of this sketch, was born in Wood county, Va., now Ritchie, W. Va, on the 11th day of April, 1831, and departed this life July 3d, 1893, aged 62 years, 2 months and 22 days. On the 17th day of July, 1851, she was married to Jabez Elliot, and moved with him to the Little Kanawha river, and settled in what is now known as the Hardman Bend, moving a few years afterwards to Pine creek, her late home, where the flickering lamp of life was blown out, and a life that was spent in doing good was brought to a close.
It is not the intention of the sketch to speak of the merits or demerits of the deceased, suffice it to say that her faults were few and her virtues many. In early life she espoused the cause of Christianity and identified herself with the M. E. Church, South, and was a regular attendant on all of its means of grace, when her health would permit, having been an invalid for some years.She was an affectionate wife, a devoted mother and a good neighbor. She leaves a companion and several children to mourn their loss, but her eternal gain.
She was interred in the Mt. Zion cemetery by a host of sorrowing friends and relatives and her children weeping.
May they prepare to meet companion and mother in the great beyond, where no parting tear is ever shed. - A Friend
