Sherwood News Sheet February 28,1912
In memoriam
Susan W Griffiths was born in New York City February 3,1849.She resided there 
until about 12 years of age,when her mother died and she was adopted by a 
Presbyterian minister,Rev Mitchel,who at one time was located as pastor at 
Logansport,Indiana.During her stay in this home she embraced 
christianity,uniting with the Presbyterian church,never changing her 
membership.
In the year 1874 she came to Bellevue,oregon to make her home with a 
brother,Robert Griffiths.
While boarding in the home of J.B Morris,of Sheridan,Oregon,she and Dr A L 
Saylor became acquainted and afterward were united in moarriage at Mr Morris's 
home on March 14,1875,by rev J.T Elliott,local pastor of the M.E Church.
To this union were born seven children,namely George W,Marry A.,Susan M.,Lola 
W.,Edgar A.,Ell M., and Frank S.,four of whom still survive her,three 
daughters having preceded her in death.
Dr and Mrs Saylor have resided within the state of Oregon all of their married 
lofe,the past fifteen years of which have been spent in Sherwood.
Mrs Sayler passed into eternity on February 24,1912,at the age of 63 years and 
21 days.To mourn her departure she leaves a husband,three sons,and one 
daughter,one gradndaughter,and many other relatives and friends.
Memorial services were held in the Congregational church at this place Sunday 
afternoon at 2:30 and Burial tookplace in the Saylor family lot in Masonic 
cemetary at McMinnville,Monday about 1 o'clock,leaving here on the 8:31 train 
in the morning.
Of Mrs Saylor it can well be said that she was all that is impile din the 
words wife and mother.She was the rpinci[al presiding spirit in the home,its 
life,heart and center.Ever ready to look after the needs and comforts of other 
members of the household.She wa sa woman that the write never saw,but has 
heard much,and all had nothing but words of praise for her.She loved home,ans 
spent the greater part of her time in the home,that it might be made 
attractive for the other members of the family.
The members of the News Sheet extends their sympathy to the breaved family,and 
may the example of this deceased wife and mother be emulated by those left to 
mourn her loss.
