Mrs. Havens has been a familiar sight to the people of New Canton for many, many years, and there are few who have lived here since the war that didn't know her. The following obituary was read at the funeral:

Sarah F. Saxbury was born in Pike County, Illinois, October 18, 1845. She was united in marriage to Chas. S. Havens, December 22, 1864. To this union were born seven children, four sons and three daughters. One daughter has preceded her mother to the Better Land. Six children survive her: Henry, Peter, William, George, Anna and Sophrona; fifteen grand-children, one sister and other relatives. She was a faithful and consistent member of the Christian Church, and also of Women's Relief Corps No. 90. She was a kind and loving mother, always considerate of others in time of trouble.
