It is with great regret that we are obliged to write this memorial for one whose place will not be easily filled. There was a feeling of sadness in Richland and vicinity when it was said of Sarah Donovan Tanner that she had closed this life, July 23, at the Ideal Rest Hospital, following an operation for a serious internal ailment.
Sarah Donovan. daughter of John and Mary Valliere Donovan, was born in Canada sixty years ago August 8. She came to New Centerville when a small child where she spent her early life. She was united in marriage with Alvin Tanner and had lived at Richland for many years.
Mrs. Tanner was a woman of great love of her home and friends. She was always trying to put into practice the "Golden Rule". Her life was given up to her home and her duties in the community where she lived. She won a place of high honor in her devotion to her aged mother, the late Mary Valliere Donovan, whose days were made as happy as the devotion Mrs. Tanner could give was possible to make them. She was interested in good work and loved to serve wherever she could be of service. She was a devoted Christian and for some time took a great interest in and was the head of New Centerville Sunday School.
She was interested in and concerned about the happiness of others to such extent that she used her best endeavor to scatter sunshine and comfort.
Her funeral was largely attended, Wednesday afternoon, at the Methodist church at Richland. Rev. C. A. Robinson, pastor of the Richland Methodist Church and Rev. Walter Clement of Taberg Methodist Church conducting the same. A profusion of flowers were brought as a testimony of love and esteem from the great circle of friends who regret her death. She was laid at rest in Richland Cemetery. The truest thing we can say of the departed is "She hath done what she could." She made good use of all she had to work with and while her accomplishments may not be as conspicious as the accomplishments of many others, she surely has won the home and rest, beyond the grave, which she looked forward to as the goal of her life's journey.
Mrs. Tanner is survived by her husband, two sons, Carl of Watertown, and Norman of Richland, three sister, Anna Sage of Brooklyn, Mary Albertine Valliere of New York, Mrs. Nellie Howe of Texas and Mrs. Charles Kent of Sandy Creek.
Friends and relatives from Taberg, Camden, Williamstown, Oswego, Watertown, Altmar, Pulaski and Sandy Creek attended the funeral.
