Dec. 24, 1937
Mrs. Sarah Newcombe passed away at her home Monday afternoon following a long illness and although she had not family closer than nieces, she leaves a large circle of friends who sincerely grieve her passing. In life she was of a quiet and retiring disposition, but of an understanding, sympathetic nature that won her friends everywhere.
Her unusual bravery and uncomplaining attitude through her long and painful illness has been the subject of much commendation.
