Death of Mrs. S. A. Cadwalader
Mrs. Sarah Anne Cadwalader, aged 81, died March 8 at her home, 4055 North Hermitage avenue, Chicago. She was the widow of Dr. John Cadwalader, who died in 1914.
Mrs. Cadwalader was born May 24, 1847, in Montgomeryshire, Wales, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Hughes. She came of an ancient family of landholders in the Parish of Llangyneun.
Her mother died in 1850 and the father brought his family of five children to the United States, intending to settle in Philadelphia, but later he joined his brother and sister living at Racine, Wis., where he purchased a farm. This remained the family home until the father's death in 1857. The brothers and sisters then moved to Granville, while pursuing their education at the seminary and university there.
At the beginning of the Civil War the three brothers enlisted in the Union army. The youngest, Joshua, died a prisoner of war at Andersonville in 1864 after three years of service in the army. At the close of the war the surviving brothers went to Colorado to engage in the lumber business.
The two sisters, Miriam and Sarah, eventually returned to Milwaukee, where the latter met her future husband, Rev. John Cadwalader, pastor of the Milwaukee and Bay View Welsh Congregational churches. They were married in 1873. For fifty years thereafter she and her husband labored in important Welsh Congregational churches in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois. These were distinguished as being the mother churches of many others in the denomination.
So far-reaching was the personality of Mrs. Cadwalader that friends from many walks in life were present at her funeral to pay her tribute.
She was a loving, solicitous mother, and she had happy faculty of making her surroundings congenial and homelike to all who were privileged to enter her sanctuary.
A son, John Cadwalader two daughters, Mrs. Gwendolyn Williams and Mrs. Miriam Menk; four grandchildren and one nephew, Robert C. Jones, all residing in Chicago, survive her.
Funeral services were held in the Ravenswood Congregational church, conducted by Dr. J. Morriston Thomas, assisted by Dr. J. Alexander Jenkins, her former pastor at the Warren Avenue Congregational church; Dr. John C. Jones, representing the Welsh people, and Dr. Robert W. Gammon, national secretary of the Congregational association, who was formerly associated in the ministry with Dr. John Cadwalader.
Eugene Dressler sang her favorite hymns, "Lead, Kindly Light" and the Pilgrim's hymn. The floral contributions were beautiful and symbolic of her life. The pallbearers were David T. Harries, Hugh Jones, Arthur Jones, William L. Williams, Oak Park; Dr. David J. Davies, Wilmette, and Paul Menk.
Interment was at Forest Home cemetery. "Resurrection" was sung by the Welsh people.
