Madden, Sarah Smith -
Mrs. Earl Madden passed away Friday evening at 6:30 o'clock at the family home in Ringgold County. The death of this young life and mother is particularly sad, and the community in which she lives has been shocked beyond measure by it. She was taken sick about a week ago a baby being
born to her, and although she had always been in comparatively good health in one week of time she sank so rapidly that it was impossible to save her.

Sarah Smith was born in Kent, June 20, 1887, and was reared to womanhood in Kent. She was married to Earl Madden seven years ago and this union was
blessed with four children. They are Roy, Elsie, Erma, and the infant, all of whom survive their mother.

Mrs. Madden was a woman of sterling worth and was dearly loved by all who knew her The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from Grove Chapel church in Platte township, and burial will be made in Grove Chapel Cemetery.[Union county]
