MISS SARAH ELLEN LAYTON
After an illness of several months Miss Layton of Delaware township departed this life at an early hour Wednesday morning, Oct. 1st. Deceased was in ill health since last autumn but her late sickness dates from the first part of last June. She was a daughter of the late G. D. W. and Belinda Layton and was 59 years old on the 12th of last March. She was a lady of the purest motives and by precept and example was an unwavering model of excellence. For a number of years she has been a consistent member of the Methodist church. Kind-hearted, frank and of noble aspirations, she was a true friend and a valued factor in the community.
Beginning at about 18 years of age she followed teaching for a number of years in Pike county, and has taught in Sussex and Monroe counties. For three years she was employed in the Harrisburg insane asylum and for nine years was chief warden of the female department in the Warren Pa., asylum for the insane. Her health becoming impaired under the care and responsibility at the institution, she returned to her home and again engaged in teaching until she felt unable to longer follow the profession. She is survived by four sisters, Hannah, Jennie, Kate and Priscilla.
The funeral took place on Friday at the R.D. [sic] church, Dingman’s and was preached by Rev. W. D. Greenleaf, assisted by Rev. G. S. Garretson. The sermon was based on the words of the Apostle Paul found in the 21st verse of the last chapter of Philippians ["Salute every saint in Christ Jesus"].
