Antram, Mrs. G. R. Mrs. Antram is Dead--Mrs. G. W. Grimes returned Wednesday afternoon from Roca and reported her sister, Mrs. G. R. Antram, quite seriously ill; and some of the children were also quite sick with the grip. They sent to Lincoln and got a trained nurse for Mrs. Antram. Later: We received word yesterday afternoon announcing the death of Mrs. Antram, but have not the data for suitable obituary, which we hope to publish next week, as she was for many years a resident of Sterling. The deceased was one of the charter members of the Royal Neighbor lodge of Sterling, and also, we believe the first of their members to die. The funeral will be held at the M.E. church in Sterling, tomorrow, Saturday, afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

notice of Mrs. G. R. Antram , resident of Sterling, Nebraska, probably
published in the Sterling Sun soon after Mrs. Antram's death on January
30, 1918. Original is in possession of Martin Weaver, Springfield, VA.
Antram, Sarah Sherod Miss Sarah Sherod was born in Perry county, Ohio, Dec 12, 1856. She was married to Geo. R. Antram Nov. 3, 1874. To this union were born 10 children, eight boys and two girls. Three of the children died in Ohio and have preceded their mother to the "Land of Rest." Mrs. Antram's death occurred Thursday, Jan. 30th, 1908, at 12:30 p.m. and was very unexpected, she having been ill but a few days. The family moved to Nebraska a little more than twenty-one years ago and located in Sterling where they continued to reside till April, 1906, then they moved to Roca, where Mr. Antram had charge of the Kincaid Lumber Co's. yards and store. Sister Antram was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church when a small girl and has continued a loyal and faithful member of the same till God called her home to peace and rest. She was not like so many who keep their religion in a trunk to grow musty with age and disuse, but where she went her letter went, and her personal work. She had been president of the Ladies' Aid society of the Roca church till within two weeks of her death, when at the election she gave up because of the stress of home cares and assistance in her husband's work. We shall miss her assistance and support. She leaves a husband, five sons, two daughters, a brother, a sister and a half sister, besides a host of brethren and sisters of the "Household of Faith" to mourn her loss. But what may cause tears here shall cause songs of praise in Glory, because of the final triumphs of the faithful. "We will walk in the streets of that city, With the loved ones gone before; We shall sit on the banks of that river, We shall meet to part no more." To God be all the glory both now and forever for the triumphant life of those who have been washed and made clean through the blood of His dear Son.""--her pastor, Roca, Neb. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the M.E. church in Sterling, under the auspices of the R. N. A. and a very excellent and comforting sermon was delivered by the pastor of the church, Rev. J. C. Street. Numerous beautiful floral offerings were contributed by the order and sympathizing friends. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a host of old Sterling friends in this hour of their great sorrow.
