Passing of Mrs. Deisher

Sarah E. Riddle was born in Pickaway County. Ohio, on September 23, 1849. She died at her home in Woodland township, Decatur County Iowa, on January 19, 1917, aged 67 years, 3 months, and 27 days. She moved with her parents to Decatur county when she was but a small child. On December 23, 1868, she was united in marriage to James M. Deisher and they moved to the Deisher farm which has always been their home. To this union were born three children, Otis, Mrs Howard Ross of Woodland, Iowa and Orion Deisher of Trinadad, Colo. All her children were with her during her illness, and watched her passing away to the better land. She leaves a kind and affectionate husband to mourn her loss. She also leaves two brothers and three sisters.

She was converted during her illness and found a triumphant faith in her Saviour. Mrs. Deisher was a kind and affectionate mother, a loving wife and a kind and genial neighbor. She leaves many friends to mourn her loss as well as the family.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. A. F. Jervis who spoke fitting message on the goodness of God. A large concourse of mourners followed the remains to the Lineville Evergreen cemetery where internment was made.
