I have some more sad new to communicate, our afflictions are not over yet, we have now to mourn the loss of our loved sister Sarah Ann, she died this afternoon at half past five O'clock, she suffered beyond description today, but I am thankful to say she is now at rest in heaven, her mission here is finished and she has gone to reap her reward. Our loved ones are fast being gathered home. I hated to tell you such bad news but it had to be done, she was sick just two weeks, the same length of time Dan was sick, it was just a month yesterday since he died, her baby is very sick now with the same disease. I am afraid we are going to have a serious time with it, but if good nursing will save her we will do our best. I have not been in bed in the last week but nursing my sister day and night. She thanked me over and over for being so kind to her, she didnt know why I was so good to her unless it was because she used to nurse me when I was a child. She often wished she could see you and Julia. She was so delirius she could not make herself understood very well. I wish you could have been here to have seen her before she died. John & Mary were over here yesterday, he could not bear the thought of her dying. I have no new so I will stop here. All join me in love to you all. Write soon, Yours Nelia Moler.
