Obituary: Sarah Miller Cannon

Sarah M. Miller was born in New York, September 18, 1837, being 78 years, 4 months and 20 days old at the time of her death which occurred May 9, 1916. When 15 years of age she came to Iowa with two of her brothers and settled on what is now the home of Mrs. W O Henry and has since lived in this community.

She was united in marriage to George H Cannon, April 16, 1854 and nine children were born to this union; four of them died in infancy. Death claimed one daughter Mary E. September 30, 1910 and the husband and father November the 10th of the same year. Since then she has lived in the home of her only son whose farm joins her own home.

She was converted about 1862 and joined the Regular Baptist church at Sugar Grove. When church at Metz was organized she became one of the charter members. She was truly a good woman and will be overly missed. The four children left to mourn the loss of their mother are Mrs. Elizabeth Griswold of Brooklyn, Mrs. Rosa Clement and Henry Cannon of Metz and Mrs. Almeda Wilson of Colfax. Besides these are ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren and one brother and one sister; G.W. Miller and Mrs. Nancy Hitchler both of Metz. Rev. C.H. Berry of Newton Baptist Church had charge of the funeral. ~ Newton Daily News March 14 1916.
