Sarah Sommers


The death of Mrs. Sarah Sommers, a highly respected widow lady, occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Barlow, on South Broadway, Wednesday evening, June 30. The deceased had been a sufferer from bronchial trouble for twenty-five years, the immediate cause of her death being tuberculosis. Mrs. Sommers was 83 years of age, and we learn, had been a lifetime resident of this place or vicinity, her maiden name being Heed. The deceased was a member of the Main Street M.E. Church, and by all known was much beloved for her many good traits of character, her kindly nature and her general worth as a neighbor and a helping friend. There are many friends who regret her death, but feel that though now gone from them forever, in the other world she is safe and free from pain throughout all eternity. Funeral services were held at the residence of her daughter yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, conducted by Revs. P. U. Hawkins and Batelle McCarty and interment made in the churchyard at Bethel.
