``Harriet Sandage, whose maiden name was Cronin, was born December 31, 1854, in Ohio. Removed with her parents to Indiana when only three years old. She was married to Jacob Sandage in the year 1871. To this union ten children were born, seven sons and three daughters, namely; Daniel, Holden, Mo.; Columbus, Carolus, and Otis of Montana; Cleveland, Nevada and Ona Bowen, who reside in Harrison county. Cleveland and Nevada still reside in the old home. Two sons died in infancy, and a daughter, Mrs. Rosa Bowen, passed away two years ago last October.
She accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ in the year 1875 and was baptized by Elder Columbus Scott, and has lived a faithful Christian life since that time. In the year 1882 she, with her husband and three other families, came to Missouri, settling where she lived at the time of her death. The husband had passed away May 9, 1893, leaving her with eight children and badly involved. By hard work and good management, she paid the mortgage off the home, freed themselves of debt, and had become comfortably fixed and could have enjoyed life if her health had not failed her. But a year ago she took sick, with sugar diabetes and has been a constant sufferer ever since. But no mother ever had better care than she had. Her son, Otis, came in from Montana last December to help care for her and she was so thankful to have him there. He, with Cleveland and Nevada, gave her every attention that children could give. She never wanted for anything that money or hands could supply. But love is not so strong but that the grim monster, death, will come and take our loved ones from us, and on Monday, April 16, 1917, Harriet passed to the great beyond. We can not say how much we will miss her. She, as long as her health permitted waited on the sick and did much good, but never made any noise about it. She was unassuming in all her ways. Her casket was of solid oak, her dress of white messaline, and was made by the hands of her loving daughter, Nevada. The floral offerings were beautiful, one wreath of roses, combined with five white lilies, being beautiful to look upon. She was buried at the Lone Rock cemetery on Friday, April 20, 1917; the funeral being preached by Elder Stebbins, of Lamoni, assisted by Columbus Scott. All her children were here at the funeral except Carolus, of Montana, who failed to get the telegram.
Immediately after the funeral, her second son, Columbus, from Montana, demanded baptism at the hands of Columbus Scott, and they went to the water and he was buried beneath the liquid waves, there beginning a new life, thus preparing to meet his mother.
May the One who sees the sparrows when they fall, watch over the family that is left to mourn and especially the two that are left in the dear old home. They will be more lonely than the rest, for they have homes of their own. May they all look forward to the time when parting will be no more, when all tears will be wiped away and each one will receive their just reward.´´
``Our tears with sad profusion flow,
At loss of her we love;
Yet full of hope, this truth we know,
Her spirit dwells above.
``Restored to life, eternal life,
Bought by a Savior´s blood;
A life with endless pleasures rife,
The greatest gift of God.´´
