According to Peggy Barnett's ancestry story- Private Story copied from Ancestry- The day before my great grandmother, Sadie Harrell died, several relatives were gathered near. She had not been speaking much, but suddenly she spoke. "Papa and Mama is here with me. Acie and Alice (her husband and daughter) is right there at the door, and they've come after me. Get my coat and hat, I'm going home!" Sadie's daughter, Janilou, said that no one spoke for quite some time. Every person there knew that all four of the people she had seen had been dead for years. The next day, Sadie died and went home to heaven. Sadie's grandson, Stanley Kent preached the sermon at the funeral. He called Sadie's death her "homegoing." Alzada Harrell died in Oklahoma, USA at the age of 111 years and 13 days.
