The Sharp County Record
Evening Shade, Arkansas
Thursday, June 18, 1885
Sophia A. A. Ault, daughter of Charles and Sophia A. C. Henderson, was born near Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. She moved with her parents to the state of Georgia and professed religion and joined the Missionary Baptist Church at the early age of 16 years. In the year 1858, she moved with her mother to Batesville, Arkansas. Our departed sister was twice married; first on the 3rd of April, 1864, to P. W. Franklin. The second time to Joseph Ault, December 18th, 1867, with whom she moved to Little Rock and there attached herself to the Methodist Episcopal church South. Her death took place April 17th, 1885, at Evening Shade, Arkansas. Sister Ault was devoted to her church and was a useful worker in the Sabbath school cause which she dearly loved, but sickness prevented her from doing much active work in the church. Her last sickness was very painful and distressing, especially to her friends, her disease being chronic meningitis; and for about two months before her death she lay as helpless and apparently unconscious as an infant, and in this condition she gradually passed away to rest.
