Sarah E. "Sally" Wilson was born in 1839 in Kentucky. The family lived in Ray County, Missouri in 1850, according to that year's US Census Report. Her parents were Andrew "Andy" Wilson and Rhoda Ann (Crain) Wilson. Her father, Andy, was a farmer in Missouri. Sarah and her siblings were:
Sarah E. "Sally" b. 1839 m. Dr. Erasmus D. Ralph
William H. b. 1842 m. Mattie Kinkade
Amanda J. b. 1851 m. Jacob Mann
Maud H. b. 1856 m. Allen Fowler
possibly Peter b. abt 1858
Sally and Dr. Ralph lived in: Kansas City, Missouri in 1860; Nebraska City, Nebraska in 1868; Spearfish Creek, Lawrence County, Dakota Territory [later South Dakota] in 1880, and lived in Spearfish, South Dakota until Sallie's death in 1909. Their children were:
Claude Everett b. 1859 never married
Ernest Emmett b. 1863 never married
Adelle Amanda "Della" b. 1868 m. Henry Leppla I
Dr Ralph's occupation was recorded as Physician for most of the US Census Reports over the years, but also recorded as a Farmer in the 1880 Census for Redwater and Spearfish Creek area, SD.
Sally died on July 12, 1909 at Lawrence County, SD, according to the South Dakota Death Index available through ancestry.com. Her remains were shipped to Missouri, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Henry Leppla [Adelle Amanda "Della" (Ralph) Leppla]. Sally wished to be laid at rest at her old home in Missouri. Source: page 8, col. 3, of The Queen City Mail, Spearfish, SD, dated November 17, 1909, available at newspapers.com. It is likely that she would have been buried at the same cemetery where her parents and two of her siblings, William and Maud, were buried; and her brother-in-law, Zaza Ralph, was buried; Richmond Cemetery in Ray County, Missouri. Richmond, Missouri is the town where she grew up.
In 1911 when Sally's husband, Dr. Erasmus Darwin Ralph, died, his remains were shipped to Richmond, Missouri, accompanied by his daughter, Della (Ralph) Leppla, to be interred at the same cemetery as his wife.
