Sabra S. MCCOY

Notes:

Name:
On last Monday the mortal remains of Mrs. Sabria S. Slawson were brought here from Des Moines, Ia. for burial in the Maple Hill cemetery. Old residents of Evansville will remember that Mr. and Mrs. Uriah Slawson were formerly residents of our city, and that they removed to Iowa. Mr. Slawson died about twenty years ago, and the family have a lot in the local burial ground. The body of Mrs. Slawson was brought here by the son, George E. Slawson. They were met at the depot by a number of relatives, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. G. L. McCoy, of Evansville, Clyde McCoy and daughter Lucinda, of Evansville, and Mrs. E. H. Mattice of Footville. The deceased was nearly 86 years of age. In her younger years she had been an active worker in church circles, both local and evangelistic, and passed peacefully away in the faith that looks beyond all that is perishable. Brief services were held at the cemetery, Rev. A. W. Barnlund of the Methodist church having these in charge.
