Obituary of Sarah A. Broyles (from unknown newspaper)
(C. Avis Catalog entry #305)



For the Nashville and Louisville Christian Advocate

Sister Sarah A. Broyles, the subject of this memoir, was 
the daughter of Mr. John S. Broyles, and was born March 
23, 1820, and died August 17, 1852, at her father's 
residence in Hardin County, Tenn.

Sister Sarah was deprived, when very young, of the advice 
and love of her mother, and the care of her father's house 
fell on her, which she conducted with that prudence and 
order which is rare in one of her age.  She embraced 
religion at an early age, and joined the Methodist E. 
Church, South, of which she ever after lived a consistent 
member.  She was one of the most amiable and pious young 
ladies the writer of this ever knew.  She was beloved of 
all who knew her, and those who knew her best loved her 
most.  She died as she had lived.  Her death was peaceful 
and happy.

She requested all who were present to meet her in heaven. 
 May we strive to emulate her example, and meet her in the 
world of light.  Many more interesting things might be 
said about her, but her record is on high.

         "Let sickness blast, let death devour,
            If heaven must recompense our pain;
          Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
            If firm the word of God remains."
