Dawson, Sophia J.: (TS: d. 14 Oct 1914; 98yr 11 mo 6 dy; mother) “Mrs Sophia Jane Dawson, whose death was announced last week, was buried on Friday last in Maccabee Cemetery. The funeral was held from the M E Church at 2 o’clock p.m. Sophia Jane Reynolds was born in Hart County, Kentucky, Nov 8th, 1815, the year following the treaty of Ghent, which ended the war of 1812. She died Oct 14, 1914, at the unusual age of 98 years, 11 months and 6 days. On March 16, 1836 in the country of her birth, Miss Reynolds was united in marriage to Robert B Dawson. Twelve children were born to Mr. & Mrs. Dawson, seven of whom lived to grow up. There were 5 boys and 7 girls, of whom one boy and three girls still survive. They are: Robert Dawson of Saskatson, Canada, Mrs. Nancy Colyar, Mrs. Mary Fuqua and Mrs. Eliza Logsdon of this place. In 1847 Mr. & Mrs. Dawson moved to Independence township in the state of Iowa when that country was still inhabited by wild animals and Indians. They helped to build the first school house in the township, which building also served as the place of worship for the community. Iowa is regarded by us as one of the old states, yet when the Dawsons went there panthers howled about their log cabin until Mrs. Dawson was so frightened that the blanket door had to be replaced by something more solid and on one occasion they fled in terror from the Indians. Railroads were then unknown in that country and little known anywhere, and some of the way they had to make their own wagon roads. They took their corn 30 miles to be ground at a little mill run by water, when there was enough water to run it, sometimes finding others ahead they would have to wait for days to get their grist. One winter the community running out of flour and meal, Mr. Dawson devised a way by which they beat corn into meal by hand to keep the family from starving. Long before we, who are today in the mature years of life, were born, this woman was raising her children, making a home, helping to maintain religious services, doing the work of a pioneer and helping to make civilization in a country that is now by us regarded as old. Early in life Mrs. Dawson accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was for years an earnest member and worker. Later she joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church, in which she was equally faithful, her home being a home for the itinerant and preacher who traveled through that country. On Jan 22, 1903 M. Dawson passed to the home beyond, preceding his wife by over 11 years, since which time Grandma Dawson has been the constant care of Mrs. Fuqua, who has been most devoted and faithful to her trust. While able to sit up and move about her room until about 2 months ago, yet she has required unceasing attention and care. About seven years ago Mrs. Dawson came to Sprague to be near her children, all of whom have been a great comfort to her in her declining days. Mrs. Dawson’s living posterity is as follows: Four children, 25 grandchildren, 63 great grandchildren, and 28 great great grandchildren. Through the many years of toil and hardship and declining strength and lonely waiting she lived a life of simple trust in the goodness of God and died in the hope of the Christian faith. She said that when she died she did not want to be buried in black, the emblem of mourning, but in white, for then her days of mourning would be ended.” (Sprague Advocate-Oct 23, 1914)
