Sarah, an aunt of Henry David Thoreau, is one of the three unmarried daughters of John Thoreau who died, as did their father, in Concord, MA. It is almost certain that Sarah and unmarried sisters Elizabeth and Mary who died in Concord are buried in the White, Kettell, & Thoreau tomb in the Old Hill Burying Ground in Concord, MA. Sarah's father, John Thoreau, is buried here since he is the only Thoreau directly related to the Kettell family by virtue of his second marriage (with only a child that did not survive one day). The Old Hill Burying Ground pre-dates Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, MA where the family of Henry David Thoreau are buried.
Sarah and her sister Elizabeth ran a boardinghouse in part of what is now the Colonial Inn in Concord, MA.
