Sarah Amelia Schwab daughter of Samuel and Sarah Schwab, was born in Wawaka, Indiana, on March 14 1865. In the fall of 1868, she with her parents moved to Missouri, and located in Windsor, where she grew to womanhood. On September 10 1884, she was united in marriage to Robert E. Major. To this union was born four children: Catherine Major, of Windsor, Mo.; F. Lee, of St. Louis, Mo.; Mary M. Douglas, of Columbia, Mo., and S. Schwab Major of Wichita, Kansas, all of whom are living and were present at the funeral. When about twelve years of age she was converted, joining the Congregational church of Windsor, with her parents. After conversion she soon became active in Christian work which she felt was the will of her Master. In 1898 she, with her husband and children moved to Bentonville, Arkansas, where they lived until 1890, when the family moved to Springfield, Missouri, to take care of her invalid mother. In a very short time her mother died and she then returned to Windsor, Missouri, where, with her family she has lived almost continuously to the time of her death. While living in Bentonville, Arkansas, she joined the Baptist Church with her husband. All of her life she has been a consecrated Christian; her life wholly dedicated to the Master. She loved her family; she loved her friends; she loved her Lord. In times of need no sacrifice was too great for her to make. She leaves a devoted husband, four children, eleven grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Pickerill of New York, and Mrs. Laura S. Humphreys of Omaha, Nebraska, and a large number of relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon and interment was made in Laurel Oak Cemetery under the direction of the Huston Funeral Chapel.
