NOTE: Although her tombstone gives the birth date as 1884, Sarah was 2 years old on the 1880 census. This would make her true birth year abt 1878 (1 year after her parents marriage). Minnesota Births and Christenings Index provides the birth date shown. Her father was already deceased at the time of the 1880 census, further proving she could not of been born in 1884.
