© The Verden News Verden, Oklahoma January 12, 1934 March 21, 1901 ~ January 6, 1934 Miss Sadie Edna Lamb, daughter of Mr and Mrs W. L. Lamb, succumbed at her home here Saturday evening at 7:10 o'clock after an illness of about three years. She was born March 21, 1901 near Union City, Oklahoma and at the age of two years, her parents moved to Verden where she was reared and received her grade and high school education. She also attended colleges at Chickasha, Norman and Edmond. She taught school three and one half years at Shatook and four terms of school in Verden grade school, when her health failed. Miss Sadie was a true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would make a bright chapter in any life. Nothing but thought of the living hand that has removed her can reconcile us to her absence. While she has gone from the scene, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her future was full of promises and we dare not ask why she was taken from us in her prime, unless, as flowers are picked before the frost finds them that we may not witness their decay. It is sad, indeed, to see one so well equipped for life taken, yet for her there was no standing on the border-land gazing into the unknown, for the death came as sunset died along the hills when day is over. A life imparts such lessons is well worth livings. "But now she sleeps where daises nod And the clover hangs its head, Where the wild birds come and the wild bees hum, Above her lonely bed. She fought the fights, she kept the faith, Her fame shines bright and clear, And her memory lives in all our hearts, Which will hold it ever dear." At the age of fourteen she was converted and united with the Methodist church of which she was loyal and devoted to. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. N. T. Peak. At her funeral was assembled one of the largest crowds ever attending a like occasion in Verden. Lifeless, but beautiful she lay in her casket of gray and white, surrounded by flowers many and beautiful, as token of friendship and sympathy for the bereaved ones and to draw their minds from their sorrows of earth and to tell that death is life and God is good, and all things shall be well for those who put their trust in Him, the one who giveth and who taketh away. Bro Peak brought words of comfort to the bereaved ones from the Bible and a quartette composed of Mrs R. M. Caldwell, Mrs J. N. Kern, Clifford Bell and F. G. Ransbarger, sang beautiful old hymns of promise, while Mrs B. E. Heisler presided at the piano. The pall bearers were Bert E. Heisler, L. G. Nuernberger, R. M. Caldwell, Norman Talkington and Phil Heisler, M. J. Phillipps. Burial was made in Verden cemetery She is survived by her mother and father, W. L. Lamb, three brothers, Marvin of Norman, Okla., Ernest of Enid, Okla., and Robert of Verden. Three sisters, Mrs Dalton Noel of Oklahoma City, Mrs Roberta Davis of Anadarko, and Miss Florence of Verden. One sister having preceded her in death. One uncle, J. L. Lamb of Verden, six aunts, Mesdames S. Hostick, Jodie Helderbrand of Verden, Emma Martanez of Anadarko, Edna Wilson of Chickasha, Sallie Collins of Electra, Texas and Claudia Barrick.
