• Notes

  Date of death was Feb. 18, 1882 on tombstone and Feb. 19, 1882 according to the obituary--JET Sarah was also known as 'Sally' -- Bond, p. 47 "MRS. SARAH CARSON "Another human is cast asunder; another sad farewell to loved ones; another jewel taken from the church militant to the church triumphant; another harp added to the blood-washed throng to swell the song of redeeming love. In a world of sin and sorrow, how joyous the record, 'Died in the faith' The last enemy conquered, and death swallowed up in victory. Thus, how glorious the ending of the righteous. "On February 19th, 1882, at the home of her son, Mr. Simon Carson, in the 89th year of her age. "She was born in Frederick Co., Virginia; was married to Mr. John Carson, Feb. 4, 1817 and emigrated to Marion Co., Missouri, 1829. About the year 1833 she united with the Bethel Baptist Church, then under the care of the Rev. Jeremiah Taylor, of which church she continued a consistent member til death removed her to the great spiritual church on high. "She was a woman of unusual mental and physical energy. Evidences of her great industry are left in the homes of her children and even her children's children. The marked urlmnity [?] of her youth and womanhood was equally marked in her extreme old age. 'Her passing away was peaceful As one who is falling asleep. Asleep! Yes, "Asleep in Jesus" That sleep so blessed and sweet' "True friends laid her beside her husband in the Carson graveyard and thus she awaits the morning of the resurrection. C.K.L --- Palmyra Spectator [?] Sarah (Sally) Stephens was born about 1796 at Stephens City, Virginia. About 1817 in Virginia, she married John Carson (brother of Hon. William Carson of Palmyra, Missouri, and of Gen. Carson of Confederate fame) of Newton (now Stephens City) Virginia. They went to Marion County Missouri in 1829, and settled on a farm near Palmyra that is still known as "the old Carson farm." -- Stephens, Dan V. Stephens Family Genealogies, p. unpaged [8&9]
