Sarah was born 3 Feb 1833 in Pike, Fairfield Co., Ohio. She died 4 Apr 1919 in Mt. Sterling, Madison Co., Ohio. She was buried in Pleasant Cemetery, Mt. Sterling, Madison Co., Ohio.

Some sources list her death date as 4 Oct 1919. Her name is also sometimes given as Harriett Sarah; however, she also has a younger sister with that first name, so this appears to be an error.
