I found an obituary in this rare newspaper about Sarah Power but cant find her on find a grave. I cannot find Francis either so I am assuming he is buried at Chickamauga but not sure. Any ideas?

Mrs. Sarah Power Dead
Born in Madison County, Georgia December 18, 1825 and died April 1st, 1901 Aged 75 years and married to Frances Power December 18. 1843 with eight children three boys and five girls, James G. Power, W.W. Power, C.G Power, Mrs. MaryAnn Johnson of Texarkana, Arkansas, Mrs. Georgia A. Ambrose died several years ago, Mrs., Elizabeth j. Street and Mrs. Emma F. Wilson both of Buford.
The husband and father was ki...lled on September 19, 1863 on the first day of the battle between Southern and Northern armies at Chickamauga. This left a widow with the burden of a large family to raise and educate. This she assiduously herself to and with the aid of the three boys has grown into a very large and influential one.
Mrs. Power joined the Baptist Church at quite a young and lived a consistent Christian until her death. The Church has lost a faithful member and the community a real "Mother of Israel".
The funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church by Reverend J. J. Twitty and the remains deposited in the New Cemetery in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends though the weather was very unpleasant.
To the bereaved family the Plowboy joins the community in condolences
