One of those unhappy events which must come to us all sooner or later,
came to the home of one of our most respected families in Grand River
Township last Tuesday.  SARAH, wife of PHILIP DAILY, after a long period
of suffering, borne with great patience, slept her last sleep. It was a
tranquil change as she passed from the repose of sleep to the repose of
death.

She was a devoted wife, an affectionate and loving mother, whose special
care was for her children, and her most ardent wish was for their
highest success.  For years while suffering from her malady, her
devotion to her family was unswerving.  She leaves a husband and eight
children to mourn her departure.  They have the condolence of a
sympathetic community.

SARAH A. CARRAHAN was born May l5, l84l, in Illinois, and came with her
parents, when a child, to Burlington, where she resided until l872.  She
then came to Decatur County, where she has since resided.  She was
married to PHILIP DAILY, January 2l, l858; died September 4, l894.

The funeral sermon was preached at the residence to a large audience by
REV. JOS. EDWARDS, from Heb., l2:6,7,8 and ll.  The hymn, "Tis Sweet to
Trust in Jesus," was sung at the funeral.  The text and hymn were
previously selected by the deceased.  A large number of friends and
neighbors followed the remains to the Funk Mill Cemetery, where the last
rites of human power were accomplished.
