Sarrah E. Moore Stoneman

Sarrah (Sarah) E. Moore, daughter of Jehu and Margaret Moore, was born in Madison county, Iowa, November 3, 1859, and departed this life at the home of her son, William, near St. Charles, Iowa, September 12, 1935, at the age of 75 years, 10 months and 9 days.

On September 20, 1891, she was united in marriage to T. H. Stoneman. To this union one son, William was born. Early in life she professed faith in Christ and united with the church. After her marriage she placed her church membership with her husband in the M. E. church at Truro.

In September, 1920, the companion heard the call and passed to his reward.

She believed the words of Christ when he said “As ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” No home was too humble for her to enter or night too cold and dark for her to go if a helping hand was needed.

For the past two years, she has been confined to her bed. She stayed for seven months at the home of her step-daughter, Mrs. Brady Spencer, of Peru, and the remainder of the time she was cared for in the home of her son, William Stoneman, of St. Charles.

She leaves to mourn their loss, the son, William, two step-children, O. H. Stoneman, of Truro and Mrs. Brady Spencer of Peru, two sisters Mary Silliman of Winterset, and Lilah Rhodes of Opportunity, Washington, one grand-child, four step-grand-children, twelve nephews and nieces, and other relatives and a host of friends.

Funeral services were conducted at Kale’s funeral home in Truro, Rev. O. V. Rector, pastor of the Christian church, in charge, Friday. Interment was made in Peru.
