MOVE TO ILLINOIS
In 1864, nine years after her husbands death, Sarah moved to Mercer County Illinois with her father and many other relatives. They traveled nearly 400 miles in a great wagon train with all their possessions to their new home. At that time Monroe was 13, Alfred Pierce 11, and Frank was 9. Schools in New Boston Township were excellent so for the times, the Eikenbary boys' received a very good education, after they moved to Mercer County.
On November 15, 1873, Sarah's father, David Honeyman, was listed as guardian of the three Eikenbary boys in the will reading for the estate of their grandfather, Samuel Eikenbary.
But when David Honeyman died on 3/18/1874, He only left $1 to his daughter Sarah Eikenbary and a share of any remaining estate. The Eikenbary boys received nothing from thier grandfather David's estate.
