Friend, in Friendsville, Md., Sept. 16th, 1906, at the advanced age of eighty-three years, two months and eight days. She was converted to God and joined the Methodist Episcopal church over fifty years ago and lived an acceptable member of he same all her religious life. She was an affectionate mother, a devoted Christian, and a regular attendant upon all the means of grace until enfeebled by the weakness of old age. She was the mother of nine children, six of whom survive her, and are: R. E. Friend, a steward in the M. E. church in Friendsville; Rev. D. A. Friend, of the West Virginia Conference and pastor of the Brandonville charge; Rufus Friend, a local preacher in the M. E. church, who resides in the state of Arkansas; Katie Friend of Friendsville; Hattie M. Casteel of Deer Park, Md., and Delia Friend of Sang Run, Md. "Grandmother Friend" was confined to her bed but a few days, when without a pain or a struggle she passed to her eternal reward to "be with the Lord." Her demise was both triumphant and glorious. After bidding those who stood around her, one by one, good-by, and saying "only a step or two more, and I shall be within the pearly gates, they are opening now to receive me," she fell asleep in the arms of Jesus to await the call of the resurrection morn. Her funeral services was conducted by her pastor, assisted by Rev. H. E. Friend, of Hoyes, in the Friendsville M. E. church in the presence of a host of her friends. She was interred in the family burying ground near her late home on Monday, Sept. 17. [W. M. Lipscomb] (Transcribed and reformatted by Ronn E.

There another daughter Elizabeth was born in 1821 and Sarah in Anne in 1823. Sarah Anne's mother Debra died from complications of childbirth. Soon after her birth, Sarah Anne's grandmother Elizabeth Frazee Enlow, who had traveled to Ohio to be with her daughter during the birth, returned on horseback to Friendsville, Maryland carrying six-week-old Sarah Anne in a basket. Later, Widower David VanSickle returned to Maryland, and soon thereafter married Catherine Harden, who would become Sarah Anne and her siblings' stepmother. This union would result in seven children who were half-brothers and sisters to Sarah Anne and her three siblings: Deborah, Nancy, Catherine, Mariah, Isaac, Lydia, and David. 2. Sarah's father David VanSickle was the son of Louis VanSickle, who settled on the Maryland and Virginia (now West Virginia) State line on Sickle Hill, west of Sand Spring (Fearer), Maryland. David was born 24 Dec 1796 and died 17 Dec 1876. He is buried in the abandoned graveyard at the VanSickle settlement on Buffalo, where he resided until 1833 when he secured the Sickle Hill farm REFERENCES: Hoyes Pioneer Families of Garrett County, Garrett County Historical Society, Charles Edward Hoye; McClain Printing Company, 1988 - Garrett County (Md.); Pages 546-549.
