Sarah Burtch was one of those hardy pioneer women to whom fell more than her lot of hardship and responsibility. She rejoiced in it however, and no road was too long nor task too heavy when illness demanded her attention. Many an aching brow has been soothed by her gentle hand, and many homes have had occasion to pay their tribute for her kindly ministrations. She was loved and respected by all. She was long an active and enthusiastic member of the Rebekah Lodge and a member of the past Noble Grand Club of the I.O.O.F.
Her husband passed away on April 6, 1932, just the day before their 57th wedding anniversary.
