Wife of Daniel Israel Sperry. Daughter of George Bunch and Elizabeth Wild.
Following is from THE BUNCH FAMILY by Fawnie (Minnis) Williams 1985, typed by daughter, Jo Ann (Williams) Casner, page 18:
Sarah Bunch Sperry who married Israel Dan Sperry was the daughter of George Bunch and Elizabeth Wild. She was smaller in stature than her brothers and sisters. She had a quiet kind disposition as I remember what my folks would say about her. She and her husband were the parents of nine children. They lived on a small farm. At that time the wife and mother had so much hard work to do, sewing for boys as well as girls, washing on a washboard, baking all the bread and cooking other foods on a wood cook stove. Drying fruit and preserving food for winter and many other chores left untold. They cared for the sick in the home and helped their neighbors when there was sickness in their homes.

There was a tragedy later in her life when her son, Frank Sperry shot and killed Frank Wooden. Frank Wooden was the son-in-law of Sarah’s sister, Mary Rockhold. I am not sure whether Sarah was alive at that time or not but I believe she was.”
