BISER, Sarah Elizabeth Stemple
BEAVER RUN ITEMS - Aunt Sarah Biser (nee Stemple) died last Tuesday evening at the age of 80 years. Funeral at the brick church and burial in the grave yard there. She had been in feeble health for several years and was about the same till Monday morning she was paralyzed and then grew worse till her decease. She made her home with Jo Taylor's, Mrs. Taylor being her daughter. Her husband John Biser, preceded her to his grave about twenty-five or twenty-six years.
At the age of 79 years, 7 months, 29 days, one has reached the closing scene of her earthly pilgrimage. Time has scattered snowflakes upon her once fair brow, and bowed down her form with the weight of years. Her life once active and buoyant is now sinking in silence and waiting to exchange earth for heaven. Peace, like a river, rolls through her hopeful heart. The warmth of her affections is felt far and near. Her hopes of happiness are all centered in Jesus. Old age is contemplative. Aged people dwell much upon the future, as well as the past. They link the fond associations on earth with the sweet anticipations of the future. Be kind to the aged ones of earth. They will not be with us long. Acts of kindness, with the hand are deeds of benevolence in the heart.
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Biser (nee Stemple) passed from the sad and silent shores of time October 17, 1911. For some time she had been in feeble health. When on Monday morning of the 16th was partially paralyzed and continued to grow worse till her sun was set.
She was married to John Biser just before the Civil War. Unto this union still survive Mrs. Rachael Taylor and Lydia Anders and each has four children ____ surviving. But the husband, ____ John Biser, preceded to the ____ world about twenty-six ____. Funeral and burial ____ Beaver Run church from ____ by the writer.

Silas Biser died Thurs at 2 pm and was buried Sat, funeral at the church at 11 o'clock. The deceased has been poorly a long time, at times real bad and then would seem to improved awhile. He departed at the age of 58 years, 2 months and 17 days. In 1874, he married Miss Mary Staggs. Unto this union were born five children, Miss Sabina, Jacob, deceased fourteen years ago, Samuel, Mrs Cora Charleston and Baker Biser. His affliction was dropsy and asthma. This fact alone made his condition very distressed on account of his hard and fast breathing much of the time. Fourteen years ago, he had a hard spell of typhoid fever since when his heart had been quite weak, so much so that he could exercise, but moderately.
