THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, March 10, 1932,Volume
LVI, Number 19, Page 8, Column 1, "DEATH'S HARVEST." [Transcribed on
November 29, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the
Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.]
This community was shocked when Sarah E. RUSH passed away at her home in Solsberry, where
she had lived for the past few months. She had been in poor health for some time but the
end was not expected so soon.
She was the oldest of the seven children born to Isaac and Louisa COX, born near
Hobbieville, Indiana, Mary 4, 1856, and passed through the vale of death February 29,
having reached the age of seventy-five years, nine months and twenty-six days.
At an early age she became a member of the Hobbieville M. E. church of which she
remained a loyal member. She was not only loyal to one church, but to all. She longed to
see the time when all churches would be united.
She was united in marriage to George RUSH October 14, 1883. To this happy union came
five children to bless the home, which can truthfully be said they were a blessing in the
home, administering to every want and need, always trying to make mother happy and make
father's life brighter.
Although an invalid for almost eleven years she was patient, never complaining, and put
forth every effort to regain health.
She could be designated by both young and old as a true wife, a most loving and cheerful
month. Those who knew her loved her; even the little children enjoyed being in her
presence. They brought sunshine to her by the coming.
It can truly be said of her that she loved to serve, not only in her own home, but where
help was needed. She was always happy when making the life of a neighbor or friend better
and happier.
She was one of God's noble women, which was proven by her daily life, not laying up
treasures on earth but in heaven.
She was preceded to the Great Beyond by an infant daughter and two brothers, Morton and
James H. The remaining brothers are Millard, of Hobbieville, and Quince, of Bloomington;
two sisters, Louella READ, of Bloomington, and Mrs. Emma RAINBOLT, of Bloomfield.
She also leaves a kind and most devoted husband, two sons, Theodore, of Oolitic; Bert,
of Owensburg, and two daughters, Minnie GILLILAND and Lula JOHNSON, of Solsberry; five
grandsons and one granddaughter to mourn her passing. One little grandson, Robert, who
made his home with her, and Russell, who made his home with Grandpa and Grandma HENRY,
passed away about two years ago. This was a great loss in each home where they became
rays of sunshine
