Notes for SARAH ANN HILMAN CHAMBLESS:
Transcribed from letter from
A. Hunter
2-5-1885

Sarah H. Logan, wife of Benjamin C. Logan departed this life Jan. 24, 1885. Sister Logan was a native of New Jersey. She had lived in Arkansas since 1828.
In her 17th year she professed religion and joined the church and lived a consistent Christion until called away to the Church Triumphant.

In 1844-45 her home was one of my stopping places. Many times the writer enjoyed
the hospitaliity of that Christian home. She and her husband succeeded in taising their children in great respectability .

They had been citzens of Clarke County for 60 yeas. The wife has closed up a well rounded life and has left her aged companion to battle alone. It will not be long unitl a reunion will take place in that bright would where there will be no more parting.

Sister Logan was called away suddenly. She was preparing on Saturday for Sunday. Her husband hearing an unusula noise went to the cook-room door and discovered
that she had fallen and was dead. She ceased at once to work and live.

Brother A. B. Winfield preached her funeral to a large concourse of citizens, called together our of respect to her memory.
"NO SORROW, NOT AS THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOPE."

Notes for BENJAMIN C. LOGAN:
May 15, 1888

From the ARKANSAS METHODIST

BENJAMIN C. LOGAN, who was born MArch 20 ,1809, moved to Arkansas in 1881 died May 9, 1888.

Brother Logan, when young joined the C. P. Church but after marrying, became a member of M. E. Church South and remained an honored memeber of the same for 54 years, or until the end of his life.

The writer formed his acquintance in Dec. 1885, a few months after the death of his beloved companion, with whom he lived half a century and more. From old age and
and bodily afflictions he has been confined almost entirely to the house for several years. He frequently spoke to the writer about the loneliness of his life since the death of his wife. He looked forward with anxiety and anticipation of great joy when GOD would call him to rejoin the dear wifa and other loved ones.. He seemed anxious to go, but was willing to wain and suffer the will of GOD.

It was a means of grace to see his patience and resignation to the Divien WIll and totalk with him about the glorious realities and prospects of the future. The dear old brother has enterd upon the relaities and it is easu for us to imagine the glorious greetings that wer awaiting him on the other side.

Many friend were present at the funeral services which wer held in the after nooon after his death, at Caroline Prsebyterian Church; and we laied awasy in the adjoining cemetery to await the general resurreciton.

We think his life here only with pleasure, His children have his good name as their inhereitance, and "Oh! what a precious heritage; more to be desired than silve and gold."

My dear brethen and sisters, I gladly and confidentiall commend you to the GOd of your father for grace and consolation. Thank God, Heave is growing brighter and more attractive. Fod help us to get there where we will meet wife and baby, Mother and Father and all the good and glorified.

The inscription on his tombstone reads:
