- The deceased Sarah (Simpkin) Lasbury, who passed to rest on Thursday, Oct. 23d, 1913, was born at Walnut Grove on November 11th, 1836. She was the eldest daughter of Thomas Simpkin and Ann, his wife.
Her whole life was spent in the neighborhood of Griggsville, where all her children were born. She was the wife of Mr. John Lasbury to whom she was united on March 20th, 1858, and she survived him by almost six years, he having passed to his reward on Sunday, Nov. 17th, 1907.
To this union were born five children, three daughters and two sons, Mary (Mrs. John Stead), Ann (Mrs. C. P. Hatch), Elizabeth (Mrs. Louis Parker), John, all of Griggsville; and Vincent of Chicago, all of whom survive their parents.
Two sisters, Ann (Mrs. B. B. Hopkins), Mary (Mrs. Hitch) and Thomas Simpkin, the only brother, also survives their sister.
There is little need to speak of the saintly character and loveable personality that has gone from the darkness of her earthly life to the light of paradise, for all knew of her sterling qualities, who had the privilege of her friendship or acquaintance.
Suffice it to say that the whole of this township and the surrounding neighborhood sincerely mourns the departure of as good a woman as they have ever been permitted to know.
Rest Eternal, grant her, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her. The funeral service was held at S. James' church on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 2:30,conducted by the pastor.
A large concourse of relatives and friends were present to pay their last marks of respect to their de parted loved one.
The interment was in the beautiful Walnut Grove cemetery, where she lies side by side with her beloved partner. The pall bearers were Dr. T. S. and Rufus Hitch, T. M. Yates, Page Hatch, Walter Stead and Robert Hopkins.
