Our mother Sarah wife of Josiah Glover died May 9, 1858, in her 75th year. She was a tender mother here, and in her life the Lord did fear. We trust our loss will be her gain, and that with Christ she’s gone to reign. Submitted by chapter member, Rena Goss

She was a lovely star whose light
Around my pathway shone
Amid the darksome vale of tears
Thru which I journey on
That star went down in beauty But
In the bright and dazzling
That decks the sky.
