On April 26th, 1852, in Hamilton Township, Jackson County, O., there was born in the family of James and Jane GILLILAND Daugherty, twin daughters, who were named Rachel and Sarah, both of whom grew to womanhood on the farm, and married, each performing quietly and faithfully her part in fulfilling the duties required in homemaking and motherhood.  Today we are gathered here to pay our tribute of respect to Mrs. Sarah Weed, the last member of the Daugherty family, the three sisters and three brothers having already preceded her in death.  Mrs. Weed spend her entire life in Jackson County, the last several years having been lived in Jackson.  Shortly before her marriage Mrs. Weed joined the Methodist Protestant Church at  Pleasant Hill, and on moving to Jackson she and her husband transferred their membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church of this city, where during their lives they were faithful attendants at Sunday School and Church if physically able.  Miss Daugherty's marriage to Marcus Luther Weed occurred December 28th 1876 and to this union were born three daughters, all of whom are present today.  They are:  Mrs. Zella Whetsel of Columbus, O.; Mrs. Lulu Dixon of Charleston, W. Va; and Mrs. Bertha Lyons, who tenderly cared for her mother during her last illness.  Mrs. Weed also leaves three grandchildren, Mrs. Foster Bryan, Gilbert Lyons and Richard Dixon.  On Sunday afternoon at four o'clock on December 4th, Mrs. Weed passed quietly and peacefully away, leaving to her relatives and friends and memories of a life of industry, honesty and fidelity.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for  me!
And may there be no moaning at the bar,
When I put out to sea.
For tho from out the bourne of time and place,
The flood will bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
