Mrs. Sarah M. Ward, wife of Major Benjamin F. Ward of Butts county, and the last surviving daughter of Col. Fleming Jordan of Monli-cello. was horn on the 30th day of November, 1852, and died at her residence on the 25th day of February, 1862. In recording the death o? this worthy and estimable lady, piuch might b© said in praise of her virtues, that would make the communication too lengthy. We will not be tedious. The life of* Mrs. Ward was worthy the imitation and example of the living. Possessed of intelligence. and great practical good sense, she managed her household affairs with industry, energy, frugality and success As a wife and devoted companion, her bereaved husband's great anguish at the loss of his wife, will best actest her worth to him. As a mother to her children she was kind and indulgent—none more so. As a daughter and sister, she was esteemed and loved with all the ardor cf true affection.Mrs. Ward’s life as an actor in woman’s true and proper circle, was highly laudable and commendable. As a neighbor she was all that could be wished. As a Christian (being a member of the Baptist church) she was ever among the foremost in letting her light so shine as to prove her faith by her works. It is therefore not singular that wlieu summoned to leave al] her earthly blessings, she should have expressed the true Christian’s willingness to meet her God. Should these lines meet the eyes of distant relatives and friends to whom she was known in life, may they drop tears of joy that she died happy. B.Wilkinson Sheri fFs Sales for May.
