Sarah was the daughter of Thomas and Isabel Woolfenden of Kopp, Virginia. Sarah and James Luck, Jr. were married at Belle Haven Missionary Baptist Church, Kopp, Virginia.
The Luck graves at National Memorial were originally located at Belle Haven Missionary Baptist Church, Kopp, Virginia. Sometime during the war years of the 1940's, the graves were moved after the Navy Department acquired the property as a part of the rapid expansion of the Quantico Marine Corps Base.
James Luck, Jr. and Mr. James Arthur Vetter founded the Manassas and Dumfries Telephone Company in the parlor of the Woolfenden home on March 1, 1903.
James became acting clerk of the Belle Haven Missionary Baptist Church in October of 1929 and continued until relieved by Ray E. Wood on May 5, 1934.
The records of the Belle Haven Missionary Baptist Church on November 1, 1942 state: "After preaching on the first Sunday of November, 1942, the church was called to order by the pastor as moderator for a business meeting to decide what to do with the church property and cemetery as the Navy Department is taking over the surrounding properties. Due to a lack of definite knowledge as to what the plans of the government were concerning Belle Haven Church, the following resolution was passed. Said committee to have power to get for the church due to the shortness of time. Appointed to the committee were three trustees: Mr. Thomas Woolfenden, Brother Elmer DeWitte and Robert Taylor, Brother James Luck and Sister Hattie Hinton. The clerk was requested to grant letters to any who may call for them. The church adjourned to meet again on the following Sunday to learn the findings of the committee and to transact the final business of the church."
The records of the Belle Haven Missionary Baptist Church on November 8, 1942 state: "The church met to receive the report of the committee appointed last Sunday. They learned that the cemetery would not be removed at the present time. A Mr. Marlow was present in the interest of the National Cemetery in regard to the moving of the remains there. His opinion was that these graves would be moved some time. On request of Bro. James Luck the church bible and records were to be turned over to him to be kept until such time as they would be of service again. There was to be another meeting when necessary. Ray E. Wood, Clerk"
