Minerva Sauls (Clay) born May 5, 1845. She was the third youngest of a family of 17 children all of whom have preceded her to the great beyond, died Sept 1912 at the home of her daughter Mrs Jacob Jackson, near Dameron, Raleigh co, W Va, after an illness of one month. Her husband James R Saul preceded her 5 years, 7 mo and 10 days, at the home of his son, C E Sauls, of Tallahassee, Fla.
She raised a large family: seven sons and two daughters, all of whom were with her throughout her illness, except James Martin Sauls, of Tallahassee, Fla, who would have been with her had he not been confined at home by sickness. Her son C E Sauls of Tallahassee was with her for the past month but has since returned to his southern home.
The subject of this sketch was married to James R Sauls on Laurel Fork in Wyoming county, in the year of 1862 and their marriage resulted in the names of the following children; Jas Martin and Chas E Sauls of Tallahassee, Fla; Mrs Mary Jackson, of Riley; John A, Walter and Geo P Sauls, of Raleigh county; Mrs Martha Clay of Wyoming county; and Gilbert A Sauls of Logan county. She was a believer in Christ all her life and a Christian for 20 years and when questioned by her son a few days before her death as to her future, she replied "I believe in a Supreme being, I have been praying for many years, Oh, the prayers I have offered to Him, I am ready and willing to go and do not fear facing God. I am praying to him to take me out of my suffering."
Sadly wending their way over the beautiful hills and valleys into the county of Wyoming the body of grandma Sauls was taken and laid to rest in the family cemetery on Cabin Creek on Friday Sept 27, 1912, services conducted by Messrs Cook, Pendry and Good of the Baptist church...
