OUTLAW Sarah Elizabeth House, daughter of Laborn and Nancy House, early settlers of Bastrop County, was born at Bastrop, December 19, 1858, where she was reared. On December 2, 1885, she was happily married in Bastrop to Mr. John Henry Outlaw. They came to Elgin a few years later and established their home south of Elgin where he engaged in farming until his death about eleven years ago. Following her husband's death, a son, Earl Outlaw, has lived with her and she has made a home for him, doing her own house work and was unusually active for one of her advanced age. She was converted when quite young and united with the Baptist church. She was a devoted wife and mother, loving sister, a kind and thoughtful neighbor--always ready to offer word of encouragement, comfort or sympathy she shared her time or worldly goods when and where they would bring happiness. ? p. m., Saturday, May 9th.
