Sarah Jane Holden Law was born in Trenton, Butler Co.,Ohio 2 April 1835 to Pearson B. Holden and Nancy Kniseley. She
was raised in a Christian home, as her father was a circuit riding minister for the United Brethren Church.
Her mother died near Kalida, Putnam Co., Ohio when Sarah
Jane was only 13 years old. Therefore, much of the responsibility of the household fell to her as she
was the oldest, unmarried daughter at the time. She married Richard Andrew Law 1 Oct 1852 when she was 17 years old. Two children blessed their home, Jason and
Genova.

OBITUARY: Edgerton Earth Newspaper, Box 445, Edgerton, Ohio 43517 In Memoriam
The death of Mrs. R. A. Law, which occurred Thursday removes a good woman and highly respected citizen from life's activities. Though quiet an unassuming in her ways and in her public and private conduct, she was a woman of firm convictions and devoted to principles of life which she felt were right and true. She was a devoted and most considerate mother and will be deeply missed in the home. She lived a consistent Christian life and was faithful in the performance of each duty.
Sarah Jane Holden was born in Trenton, O. (Ohio), April 2, 1835, and moved with her parents to Kalida, Putnam County, Ohio, in 1837.
October 1, 1852, she was united in marriage with Richard A. Law. To this union were born two children, a son and daughter.
She became a Christian at the age of 14, lived a true and faithful life until the last.
She passed away Thursday evening June 11, at 10:30 o'clock, having attained the age of 79 years, 2 months and 9 days. One daughter, Mrs. G.A. Boos, two brothers, ten grandchildren, two great grandchildren survive.
The funeral was held from the Church of Christ Sunday afternoon conducted by the Rev. H. F. MacLane and was largely attended. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful.
CARD OF THANKS
The sympathy of friends so generously extended to us in the great grief which has befallen our home, we beg that this public recognition be accepted as a grateful acknowledgment of a kindness that has been most helpful through the days of our irreparable loss.
