Dear list subscribers,
The obituary I posted of Mrs. Sarah Fleece ( as well as all of the obituaries I type up)
was typed exactly as it was writen in the newspaper. I did not make any changes.Except
placing the order of the dates: 21 August 1905. The newspaper actually had the date
listed
August 21, 1905. Some of the scentances look incorrect but I typed it as it was in the
obituary. I do not want to make gramerical changes. Janet

OBITUARY
Mrs. SARAH FLEECE
Mrs. Sarah FLEECE was the second child in a family of ten children, born to William
and Phoebe OWENS in Boyle County, Kentucky, 27 August 1823, and died at her home in
Jamestown, Indiana, 21 August 1905. She would have been 82 years old Saturday.
She was married to Woodson BOLING in 1842 in Perrysville, Kentucky. To this union were
born two children, one dying early in childhood, and the other, Woodson Boiling Jr.,
resides in Nevada. Woodson Boling died in Canton, Missouri in 1850. In 1853 she was
married to Jeremiah B. PECK of Perrysville, Kentucky. To this union were born six
children, all of whom are dead, save Katie PECK ROSS, the youngest child. J.B. PECK
died in North Salem, Indiana in 1871.
In 1876 she was married to John FLEECE who died in 1884. While having been married
three times, yet she spent thirty years in widowhood, and has seen life with its
shadows and sunshine in all of its phases. She joined the Methodist church in early
life and became a member of the Christian church 32 years ago. She leaves one daughter,
one son, one sister, three brothers and a host of friends that will miss her. Hers was
a pure conscious, christian (sic) life, lived without display, and her faith in Gods
promises was her comfort and solace in her declining years. May we bid her adieu, not
in sorrow, but I with that faith that will enable us to see her at home and at rest in
that house of many mansions.
Funeral services were held at the Christian church Wednesday morning at 10:30 oclock,
conducted by Rev. W, H, NEWLIN Purity Lodge, D. of R., of which the deceased was a
member, furnished a large pillow of flowers but not by a request of relatives did not
perform their burial ceremony. Burial at Jamestown I.O.O.F. cemetery.
