Narrative

Note: Sarah L. Swihart

After the 1880 US Census listing for her widowed mother's household, the only reference I have found so far for Sarah is a listing on the FindaGrave.com website. This listing names her Sarah L. Swihart, and does not include a photo of her gravesite nor specific vital dates, giving only the years of birth and death. The listing does include both her parents and her parents, but names no children or spouses. Additionally, I have found no marriage record for her, nor any birth records or later marriage records naming her as a mother of any children. I have also not found a listing for her in the 1900 US Census, though if the dates from the burial listing are correct she was still alive at that point.

I would expect the listing on the website is accurate, inasmuch as both her parents and two of her four siblings are buried in that same cemetery. Placement information for her plot, along with a photo of any surviving marker, would help confirm some of the assumptions made - that Sarah never married and had no children and is buried with the bulk of her family in Woodland Cemetery.
