CRADER Holton Recorder, Holton, KS Aug. 22, 1907
Sarah E. Crader, who was born in Calhoun County, Ill., August 16, 1846, and departed this life August 3, 1907, at her home near Point Pleasant.
On September 14, 1862, she was married to A. A. Gilbert to which union were born 15 children, 11 of whom, 8 sons and 3 daughters survive to mourn the loss of a most kind and loving mother. Her children are John A. of Hargraves, Kans.; Leonard A. And Lowe P. of Hays City, Kans.; George A. of McCook, Nebr.; Oscar A. of Oklahoma; Mrs. Amanda E. Sisco, of Wakarusa, Kans.; Arthur M. and Mrs. Carrie Hastings, of Topeka; Ada M., Leroy L. and Grove O. who remain at home.
In 1878 she moved with her family to Ellis county, Kansas and in 1893 to Jackson county where she has since resided. In 1892 she was converted to Christ and has since lived a devout Christian life. She was a member of the M. E. church and will be greatly missed in the church and by her many friends as well as by her sorrowing family.
The funeral was held from the Point Pleasant church which would not hold the many friends who came to pay their last respects to their departed friend. After services conducted by Rev. Masters all that remained of sister Gilbert was laid to rest in the Bloomfield Cemetery (located in Jefferson County, Kansas near Rock Creek.)
