Sarah Elizabeth "Sally" Conner In remembrance of my grandmother. On the sad evening of May 4, 1928, the death angel visited the home of J.M. Whitenack and claimed for its victim our dear grandmother Sallie E. Craghead, wife of Robert Craghead, who preceded her to the grave several years ago. She was 93 years, 4 months and 2 days old. She concentrated her life to God in early childhood and united with the Methodist church and lived a Christian life until death. Grandmother had been in declining health for many years with that dreadful disease T.B. She bore her suffering with much patience until Jesus called her for His own. She leaves to mourn for her four children namely: Mrs L. L. Vest (Odell), Mrs. Jinnie Eanes, G. E. (Giles) Craghead, all of Pilot, and J. D. (Stape) Craghead of Roanoke, besides a host of grand children and great-grand children. Nine children preceded her to the great beyond several years before. Weep not for dear grandmother, for the time will surly come when we shall go to see her, when our work on earth is done. God needed one more angel. Amid His shining shore, so He bent with loving kindness, and clasp dear grandmother's hand. Earth has lost its hope of gladness, heaven seems to us more bright, since our dear grandmother took her homeward flight. Farewell, dear grandmother, on earth we will meet no more, but in heaven we hope to meet you on that bright happy shore.
