Miss Sarah C. Smith was born April 27, 1836, and lived in Illinois during her childhood, where she was married in 1844 to Mr. William Thomas GROVES.

The funeral services were held at the Christian church in this city Sunday, August 26, conducted by Elder O. A. Ishmael. Interment at Sharon Cemetery.
Six children survive her, five of the children having proceeded her to the other world. The children remaining are Mrs. Gib SAYLES near Drexel, Mrs. Will Clifton of Amsterdam, Mrs. Joe Rafferty near Drexel, Mrs. Jesse Jacks of Kansas City and Mrs. Sarah Katherine Ilay of this city.
Mrs. GROVES was loved by those who knew her and she leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss.

I have her birth date as 1828, though her obit says 1836. In order for her to be 78 years old at the time of her death, she had to be born in 1828. Her obit also states she was married in 1844, but marriage records for Brown County, Illinois, state 1846. In some records her middle initial is C and some J.
Please see the memorial for Sarah's husband, William Thomas Groves for more information.
