The following obituary notice of Mrs. Sarah Reed was read at the funeral service:
Sarah C. Reed to whom we pay today the lat sad rites of respect and affection, was the daughter of John and Christina Drinnin, and was born near Wyoming, Illinois, July 23, 1851. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ora Greenwood, near Toulon, Illinois, March 29, 1918, having reached the age of 66 years, 8 months and 5 days.
On November 3, 1868, she was married to Herbert L. Reed. One child was born to this union - a daughter, Luna A., who is known to us all as Mrs. Ora B. Greenswood.
Those left to mourn the going of Mrs. Reed are three brothers - John Drinnin Jr., of Wyoming, Illinois; Joseph Drinnin, of Columbus, nebraska; Martin Drinnin, of Voila, Arkansas. Three grandchildren, Ada Greenwood, now Mrs. Frank Rist, of Kewanee; Fred Greenwood and Forrest Greenwood, both of whom reside here. There are also four great grandchildren, Bernice Rist, Ghelma Rist, Francis Rist and Vera Rist.
Mrs. Reed was a member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church at Wyoming.
Most of her life had been spent on the farm in one place or another between Wyoming and Toulon, Illinois. For about fourteen years now she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. Ora B. Greenwood. Together daughter and mother spent many hours of closest fellowship. Not only the family will be sorry that she is gone, but others; for although she was of a quiet and retiring disposition, all who knew her can testify that no one ever became acquainted with her but to learn to love her deeply.
Mrs. Reed was a very devout woman; as regularly as the days have come and gone, she was accustomed to take her prayer book and her bible and read prayers and scripture as indicated for the day by the regulations of her church. Her prayer book and her bible lay on the table the other morning just as she had left them ghere from the night before she died.
During the most of this past winter she had seemed to be in better health than usual, but for about three weeks she has seemed at times to need a nedical stimulant for her heart occasionaly. On Thursday night about 12:30 she called for someone to bring her medicine. The faily was alarmed and so they sent for a physician. But when the doctor came he found that although he had arrived within thirty minutes from the time he was called, shill it was too late and his remedies would not take effect. At about 12:10am Friday moring she passed away to be with her God.
The funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Greenwood Sunday afternoon. Those from a distance sho attended the funeral were Mrs. Ed Starr, of Haswell, Colo; Mrs. William Drinnin, Mrs. M. Spencer and son, Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Drinnin, and the Misses Florence and Ella Drinnin, all of Galesburg.
