Sudden Death
Mrs. Sarah T. Sloan died at her residence, near Midway Church, ten miles West of Lagrange, on Saturday morning last. On Friday, she was at her usual work, having made two pairs of pants. She retired in good health and awoke, with neuralgia of the heart. She breathed her last at eight o'clock next morning. Mrs. Sloan had been a member of the M.E. Church for thirty five years. Her funeral was preached by Rev. F.M.T. Brannon. Being well prepared, she rests from her labors and her works do follow her. May we be ready to follow her and "maist one day."

About Lewis R. Sloan: At the Confederate Memorial Graveyard in Winchester, Virginia Lewis's name is not listed there, but by history, he was supposed to have been killed there on September 19 ,1864. This was called the Third Battle of Winchester. There is a mound of unknown dead (625 soldiers) in the cemetery there with a nice Confederate Memorial standing above it. It is said to have been the first monument ever erected to the unknown dead in U.S. history. Lewis's brother, A.B. Sloan, was reportedly killed in the same battle on the same day. I can't find out much more than that. Both Lewis and his brother A.B. were members of Company B of the 4th Georgia and were called the LaGrange Light Guards. This is from Troupe County, Georgia.
