Pg 1Death of Mrs. Worthing
Sarah Ingram was born in Wales, in November 1821 and there married Richard Worthing in Sept. 1842. In 1844 they came to America and settled in Coshocton county, Ohio, thence to Guernsey county in 1851 and from there they moved to Madison county, Iowa, in 1880, where they lived near Truro till her death October 24th, 1898.
To them were born six sons and nine daughters of whom three sons and three daughters and her aged husband survive her. In 1852 she united with the Presbyterian church and later the Baptist church, and during all these years her life gave delightful evidence of her faithful earnestness in the Christians hope, and especially of the beautiful graces of Christian motherhood. So prominent was this trait that Rev. S. W. Lee her former pastor made Christian Motherhood the theme of her funeral discourse using the last clause of Psalms 35-14 as his text, and a full church of weeping friends and neighbors attested the fact that a mother in Israel had gone from their midst to her eternal home.
Note: Burial was made in the Worthing cemetery.
