Died
On Saturday evening, March 9th 1895 Mrs. Sarah E. Bishop, widow of the late John Bishop, in the 66 year of her age. Although Mrs. Bishop has been an invalid for several years her condition was not considered critical until a short time before the end came. She sat up in her chair most of the afternoon on Saturday, and only a few minutes before she died she sat up and conversed with her sons, and then lying back she peacefully passed into the great beyond to meet the husband who had gone before. Five children are left to mourn the loss of a mothers love, two sons, Edson and John, being in Idaho, a son and daughter in Nebraska, and a daughter in Kansas. The absent ones were telegraphed for on Sunday morning and the remains were embalmed to await their arrival.
The funeral occurred on Wednesday, Rev. F. I. Young conducting the service.
