Sarah Amoret Carlisle, daughter of Robert and Eliza Irish Langworthy, was born in DeRuyter, Madison Co., N. Y., April 3, 1843, and died at her home in Farina, Ill., March 19, 1911, aged 67 years, 11 months and 16 days.
She was one of a family of six children, of whom only Mrs. Thomas Zinn of Farina is now living. April 3, 1861, she was united in marriage to S. J. Carlisle. To this union were born four daughters: Mrs. Mattie Davis, who died four years ago, Mrs. Lettie Ferrill and Mrs. Hattie Carlisle of Farina, and Mrs. Mame Crandall of Milton, Wis. The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle would have occurred in fourteen days had Mrs. Carlisle lived.
At the organization of the Farina Seventh-day Baptist Church Mrs. Carlisle became one of its constituent members, and during its entire history she has been a regular attendant at its services and deeply interested in its work. She has been a teacher in the Sabbath school for many years, and was serving her fifteenth year as president of the Ladies' Aid society. The church prayer meeting was dear to her, and her occasional absences during recent months were due to poor health and not because she willingly stayed away. She was greatly interested in denominational matters, and read the Sabbath Recorder with keenest relish. Only the day before her death she read two or three articles in it.
Mrs. Carlisle is the eighth of the early numbers of the Farina Seventh-day Baptist Church who have died during the past year - five of these were constituent members. Memorial services were held at the church on Tuesday morning, conducted by her pastor. W. D. B.
