Obituary

The Hoxie Sentinel (now the The Sheridan Sentinel), Sheridan County, Kansas, March, 1924. [19]

Sarah A., second daughter of Lorenzo Dow and Mary W. Cox, was born in Indiana, near Madison, October 20, 1844, and departed this life March 27, 1924, aged 79 years, 5 months and 7 days.

She went to Illinois with her parents at two years of age. Was converted and united with the Baptist church in Mason City at the age of sixteen years and lived a consistent Christian and consecrated life to the end which has proved an inspiration to love and service to those with whom she has been associated.

As it is written, "The heart of her husband saftly trusted in her, and her children arise up and call her blessed."

One of her grandchildren wrote to her the first part of the month, not knowing she was ill, as follows:

"I can't thank you enough for the good lessons while I lived with you. I only wish I could mean as much to someone's life as you and grandpa were to me. Lessons I learned then have guided me all through my life. I wish my children have had the same chance to be with you as I had."


On October 20, 1863, the deceased was united in marriage to Hiram N. Hoffman and began married life on the home farm where they lived together built their home and lived, until the husband was called June 21, 1918. She has now gone to join him and the two little daughters who died in infancy.

She is survived by nine children:

Clara Launa Hoffman Tomlin, of Edgely, North Dakota;
Ezra, on the home farm;
Lorenzo, of Bowling Green, Florida;
Sadie, of Ovando, Montana;
Ora, of Theodore, Alabama;
Rebecca, of Licking, Missouri;
Reuben, of Bath, Illinois;
Elsie, of Dayton, Ohio, and
Eunice Olds, of Alberta, Canada;

also sixteen grandchildren, and twenty-seven great grandchildren, :three brothers and one sister:

Jarod, of Carnegie, Oklahoma;
Warren, of Hoxie, Kansas;
Alice, of Murray, Iowa, and
Theodore, of McLouth, Kansas.

These and a host of neighbors and friends who will miss her kindly face, her self-sacrificing spirit and loving service of helpfulness to all.

Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the Rev. U.C. Seafler at the First Baptist church and interment was made in the Mason City cemetery. [19]

The following poem was read at the services:

My Mother - (By A.C. Stuyvesant)
She gave the best years of her life with joy for me
And robbed herself with loving heart unstintingly
For me with willing hands she toiled
From day to day
For me she prayed, with headstrong youth would have its way.
Her loving arms, my cradle once rocked, are weary now,
And time has set the seal of care upon her brow.
And though no other eyes than mine their meaning trace
I read my history in the lines of her dear face.
'Mongst gems of Him Who showers gifts
As shining sands,
I count her days as pearls that fall from His kind hands.
