Died, in Salem, Marion Co., on the 18th day of January, 1864, Mrs. Sarah McBee, aged 37 years, 7 months and 20 days.
Sister McBee united with the M.E. Church in the State of Missouri, a number of years ago, but was baptised and admitted into full connection by Rev. David Rutledge, during his pastoral relation to this charge. Her Christian experience may be summed up in the apostle's language, "For me to live in Christ, to die is gain." She was taken with diptheria while watching by the bedside of an afflicted daughter, and in a few hours expired while seated in a chair. Her last words were, "Jesus take me, Jesus take me."
Sister McBee and four of her children are now over the river, while the husband and three children are on this side. May they all at last compose an unbroken family in heaven.

BIOGRAPHICAL:
My father, John McBee, who was born in Ohio, came to Oregon in 1852. My mother's maiden name was Sarah Matheny. She was born in Kentucky. My parents had four children when they started by ox team across the plains for the six-months trip to Oregon. John, who was about a year and a half old, died near the Blue mountains. Ellen, who was a few months old, died not far from where the city of Pendleton now is. Mother's brother, many years later, took the map mother had made showing the location of the graves of her two babies and went up there to put headstones on the graves. He could locate only one of the graves, and it was in a field planted to wheat, so he couldn't tell just where the grave was. My brother George, 6 and Francis, 4½ years old made the trip in safety. My sister Elisabeth was born in 1853, not long after they took up their donation land claim. I was the next child and was born in 1859."
