Sarah was the daughter of Henry Winkler who was born about 1816 in Kentucky and died in Missouri; and Orvella (Asbell) (raised by Bennetts) Winkler (1820-1877) who was born in Kentucky and died in Missouri.
Sarah's parents were married in Macon County, Missouri, and soon moved to Schuyler County, Missouri. During the Civil War, Sarah's teenage brother, Henry Harrison Winkler, was killed by the Putnam County, Mo. Militia who wanted his horse. After the war, the Winkler family moved to Chariton County, Missouri. Sarah had the following known siblings:
Charity E. Winkler 1840 –
James W. Winkler 1842 – 1920
Henry Harrison Winkler 1842 – 1861
John T. Winkler 1846 –
Louisa Winkler 1848 –
Martha Jane "Mat" Winkler 1853 –
Margaret Maggie Winkler 1856 –
Mary Celiean Winkler 1858 – 1933
Nancy S Winkler 1860 –
Suminna Minie Winkler 1862 –
Lydia Winkler 1863 –
Mollie Winkler 1864 –
Marraige records show that Sarah married Jerymiah Will in Chariton County, Missouri on September 7, 1870. It is unknown what happened to that husband. In 1875, she married George Campbell. Census records do not show that they had any children. They lived in Saline County, Missouri and ran a grocery and general store.
On June 16, 1916, George Campbell died. Their store was closed, but Sarah continued to sell the remaining merchandise out of her home. It was reported that Sarah was considered to have more money than the average person. On January 6, 1917, her nephew, James Wesley Garrett, son of her oldest sister Charity, paid her a visit, shot her in the back of the head, and took her money, which reportedly was only a few hundred dollars. He was caught, convicted, and spent the rest of his life in prison in Jefferson City, Missouri.
