From an old copy of "Sign of the Times".
Mrs. Sabina Josephene Greathouse was born in Mead County, Kentucky, January 5th, 1853. She was born and raise a Catholic; was married to I.R. Greathouse September 1st, 1870, and died in Selma, North Carolina, September 19th, 1929, making their life together 59 years and 18 days. She never fusssed at any one in her life, and there never lived a more faithful and affectionate wife nor a more patient and loving mother than she was. She received a hope when about twenty-five years of age. She left the Catholic Church and united with the Primitive Baptists at Sebree, Kentucky in the year 1878. She lived a quiet, christian life until it pleased the Lord to call her home. The brethren and sisters over the United States where she traveled with her husband spoke of her in the highest terms. Elder Colier, of Selma, North Carolina, in speaking of her, said, "She is an exception." It was her delight to cook for and wait upon the brethern and sisters. She could follow me and knew by heart any song I could sing, and if my mind wandered off so I could not think of the next words she would sing on and I knew the song all through, but she did not know one song by heart. She was the mother of eleven children. Two of them preceded her to the grave, leaving us to mourn for them. From Christmas morning unitl God called her home at different times she suffered more than any one I ever saw. We buried her precious body in the cemetery at Cortales, New Mexico. We miss her sweet voice and delightful presence, but our loss is her eternal gain. May God give us grace to bear the loss.
I.R. Greathouse
