Arkansas Methodist   Wednesday    November 18, 1891

			MRS. SARAH F. PENNINGTON

PENNINGTON -  Mrs. Sarah F. Pennington was born Nov. 24, 1824; converted 
and joined the Methodist Church when a small girl.  She was married to 
Phillip Pennington and came to Arkansas in 1859. She was the Mother of 
five children; two had preceded her to the other world. Two sons and one 
daughter are still living. The Daughter, Sister Andrews of Hope professed 
religion at New Hope, Clark County in 1869, under the Ministry of the 
writer.  Sanford, the oldest son, is an exhorter and steward at New Hope, 
Clark County, William is at Fulton. When I was traveling the Clark County 
circuit in 1869 (Bro. Pennington was then living)  I always found a home 
and friends at their house; they treated me so kindly I never forgot them.  
Sister Pennington was living with the daughter at Hope, and had been I 
think so for several years.  She died August 07, 1891, in peace, ready for 
the exchange of time for eternity. Her remains were brought to New Hope 
and buried by the side of her Husband, to await the resurrection of the 
body at the last day. The burial service was performed by the writer the 
next day.  I preached her funeral from Rev. 14:13. Thus ended the life 
of a good woman. Children live right, and meet Father and Mother in the 
"Celestial City".
