Obituary: Hamilton, Sarah - died - near Lexington, Ohio May 24, 1889.

Mrs. Sarah Hamilton was born in Washington County, Penn., Mar 4, 1796, was married to H. Hamilton in the spring of 1819. Two weeks after leaving the home of her childhood, she came with her husband to what was then the wild of western Ohio, settling in the unbroken forest of Jackson Township, then Wayne County. Mother Hamilton was a zealous christian, ever faithful to the convenant promises, serving & honoring if not all, would now shrink; often riding on horse back, carrying a child to Wooster, 15 miles distant, both to church and to market. Mrs. Hamilton was the mother to seven daughters and three sons. Three daughters and the sons survive her to mourn the absence of a dear mother, the husband and four daughters having preceded her by death. The last 24 years of her life were spent near Lexington on a farm with her two youngest daughters. In the early morning the long-waited-for and welcome voice was heard to say "I Come" Crowned with near five score years, her mind remained unclouded to the last. Embalmed in hearts who mourn her death, she walked with God. She now rests in the sleep of a beloved. The loving shepherd stands with loving hear and outstretched arms to receive her in his sheltering fold, to be made a pillar in the temple of God. It was one of the oases in this life to meet as sons and daughters at the dear old home where we oft received a mothers blessing, but will meet no more until we meet in that home on high.
