Sarah Lambert (Wright) Bolce lived her life in Monterey County, California. She was the daughter of Jonathan R. Wright (1821-1909) and Elizabeth Claudy Harrison (Masters) Wright (1844-1914). Sarah married in about 1896, Edmund S.J. Bolce (1870-1966), the son of William J. Bolce (1824-1909) and Katherine Duggan (1832-1902). Together Sarah and Edmund raised the following children:
- Everett Edmund Bolce (1897-1967)
- Ashley H. Bolce (1899-1968)
- George Leroy Bolce (1901-1986)
Sarah had the distinct privilege of being the only child ever born at the Old Custom House in Monterey. This was the location where Commodore Sloat raised the first American flag declaring California a US territory. In addition, Sarah and her sisters, while playing in the woods, discovered a very ill Robert Louis Stevenson. The girls summoned their father who rescued the author, bringing him into their home. The family nursed him back to health for several weeks. During that time, Stevenson taught the younger girls their ABCs. The girls lovingly called him "Mr. Spindle Legs".
