Her father had been born in Massachusetts and was running a boarding house. Mother was born NH and Sarah had a brother John R. Fuller than age 19. In 1870, now Ashland, Sarah was 35 and her mother Eliza was 65. Sarah was working as a seamstress. Sarah died of dysentary (death record) age 63, 10 mos and 2 days, occupation merchant. Sarah was widowed at death, name of husband not given. Her brother John Rodgers Fuller died at age 21 in Stoneham Mass of typhoid fever. Her sister Mary Ann Fuller married David Pierce and died in Manchester NH of heart disease in 1920. Contributed by BL Hughes: Ashland was most unexpectedly visited this week by the hand of death. The victim chosen this time was one who could be, according to human reasoning, scarcely be spared. Mrs. S.J. Brown passed quietly away last Sunday evening at her residence on the corner of Highland and River Streets. She had been ill a little over two weeks, so that her death was quite a surprise to all. Her first illness came on while she, with others, was attending a session of the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star at Franklin. She was brought home to Ashland by Miss Susan Mann and took her to bed, from which she never arose. Her illness was very severe, but was borne with patience, Christian fortitude till the very last and, as her custom, was thoughtful of others rather than herself. Mrs. Brown had carried on a profitable millinery business in Ashland for twenty-five years or more, being one of the longest doing a continuous business in the town. During the obsequies all places of business were closed out of respect to her memory. She was a very active member and constant communicant of St. Mark's Church (Episcopal), where her work and cheerful, patient spirit will be greatly missed. The welfare of the church occupied much of her time and attention. At an earlier period of the church history she was a regular Sunday school teacher. Frequently, of late, she was called upon to take a class and always responded readily and cheerfully. The E.W. benefited very materially through her untiring energy. It is not too much to say, moreover, that the work which has begun at the present time, on the parish Guild House is in great part due to her faithful efforts. Mrs. Brown was also an active member of the O.E.S., having held office as Chaplain for several years. This position she was particularly fitted to fill, and did so to the satisfaction of the entire order. It was in obedience to the request of this order that she should represent them at the grand Chapter that she met with the illness that proved so fatal. In the home her seat will certainly be empty in a very sad way. The bereaved sister and niece, Mrs. and Miss Pierce, have the sympathy of the entire community in their loss. The funeral took place on Wednesday, the 5th, inst., from her late residence to St. Mark's Church where the funeral service was conducted by the Reverend J Thompson. He preached to a large and sorrowing audience from St. Mark, xiv:18. "She hath done what she could." The choir rendered effectively her favorite hymn: "Lead, Kindly Light," and "Asleep in Jesus." The O.E.S. attended in a body. The floral offerings were numerous and testified to the popularity of the deceased. The following are some of the tributes, with names of donors: Mr. and Mrs. Cole, of Boston, bouquet of roses; O.E.S., emblematic floral star; Mrs Frank Fifield, star and pillow, E.W., cross and white carnations and ferns; Stephen Valla, pillow of roses and carnations; Mrs Plaisted, bunch carnations; Mrs Pollard, bouquet of roses and carnations; Misses S Deane, and Vera Craig, star of pansies; Mrs Mitchell, Mrs. Peaslee, Mrs. Dowker, Mrs. Merrill, Mrs. Hardy, Mrs. Hunt, Winifred Nichols and others, cut flowers.
