"She has rested from her labors and works do follow her." Sarah, wife of Simeon Mortimer was born in England in Dec. 1824. She has been a resident of this commmunity for a great many years and is well known by all. She was converted when very young and has lived a christian life ever since. She was a member of the Brethern church and attended church as long as she was able.
