Notes

Note NI17792Sarah E Allgyer Zook.

Birth: Aug. 17, 1849.

Death: Dec. 13, 1911.

Sarah Zook died very suddenly of heart failure early Wednesday morning, Dec. 13, 1911, at her home five miles west of Belleville, Pa. She had suffered from a weak heart for a number of years, but her condition just previous to her death had not been considered serious. She retired as well as usual on Tuesday evening. About 1 o'clock the next morning her husband awakened by hearing her breathe heavily and irregularly. He procured a light immediately, but she expired before any assistance could be rendered.

She was a daughter of Peter Allgyer. She was aged 62 y. 3 m. 26 d., having been born Aug. 17, 1849, in Juniata Co. Feb. 2, 1870, she was married to Samuel B. Zook, who, with 1 son, S. Herman and 2 grandchildren, survive her. Three children died in infancy. She is also survived by 2 sisters.

Among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances Sister Zook was known as a woman of exemplary life and character. She was a faithful and consistent member of the Amish Mennonite Church, with which she had united in early youth. In her death, a husband has lost a faithful and affectionate wife, a son a gentle and loving mother, and the community one whose life was noble and uplifting.

Funeral services were held in the A. M. Church Dec. 15, conducted by E. H. Kanagy, assisted by J. B. Zook. Text, Eccl. 9:10: "Whatsoever thy hand fineth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." Interment in the cemetery near the church.
