Sarah C. Barkley.

Mrff. Sarah C. Barkley, daughter of William and Emeline Bui), was born in Jasper county, Ind., March 6, 1854, and died in Rensselaer April 15, 1909, at the age of 55 years, 1 month and 9 days. Her entire life with the exception of a few months spent in Colorado in an effort to regain her health was lived in this county. She was united in marriage to Henry A. Barkley January 1, 1879. To this union three sons wm& born, two of whom survive. Her husband preceded her to the land of eternal day, having passed to his reward January 28, 1888, after a married life of a little more than eleven years. For more than twenty-one years Mrs. Barkley has borne the burdens of family life without the counsel and help of-her companion. It was a source of great comfort to her in her last sickness that the Lord had spared her life to see her sons reach man-

hood’s years. About 12 years ago it became apparent to her that the exactions of a life on their large farm was too great for her condition of health and she moved to Rensselaer. Some twenty years ago she united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Bark-

ley and on coming to town transferred her membership to this church. Through these years she hah been a faithful and consistent Christian woman.

Since her husband’s death it was a great comfort to her that her father and mother have been spared to her and were living here so near to her at the time of her death. Of her father’s family of eight children, five sisters and three brothers, all of whom reached adult, years, there survive two sisters and two brothers: Mrs. Esther Newell, of Barkley township, and Mrs. Lillie Carter, of Silver Lake, Ind.; Mr. John M. Bull, of Eaglesville, Mo., and Mr. Wm. Bull, of Barkley township, all of whom were at the funeral except a brother in Missouri, who was detained by reason of sickness in his family. The two surviving sons, Wm. H. Barkley and Earl A. Barkley, both rfeside’ in this county, one with the mother in the family home and the other on the farm, and have been her constant strength and comfort, anticipating her needs and watching by her bedside through these long months of waiting and hoping in the battle against the great destroyer.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. L. Klndig from the family residence in Rensselaer at 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, and the body was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Barkley cemetery.
