From Sarah's obituary December 1912 at Centerville, Iowa:
Sarah Ann Ogden was born in Oldham, England, March 7, 1846 and there she grew to womanhood and was married to Thomas Philby January 3, 1864. The next year they came to America, locating first in Pennsylvania, and in 1885 came to Brazil, Appanoose, Iowa, which was their home until October 10, 1923 when Mrs. Philby went to her daughter, Mrs. R. L. Turner, in Centerville, where she has since lived. Mr. Philby departed this life December 19, 1912.
Seven children were born to this union: George of Plano, Samuel of Brazil, Mrs. Mary E. Lawton, deceased, Charles H. of Brazil, Mrs. Lady Sylvania Cowles of Diamond, Joseph A. of Detroit, MI and Mrs. Alice A. Turner of Centerville.
Mrs. Philby has been well known throughout the community, partly due to her public life and partly due to her interest in the friends and neighbors. Those who were privileged to be in her home spoke highly of her hospitality and friendship. She was a member of the Rebekah lodge at Brazil and the Pocohontas lodge at Mystic, being a charter member at Brazil, also a member of the Highland Cemetery Association at Mystic. She was a charter member of the Methodist Episcopal church at Brazil.
Mrs. Philby enjoyed the rare blessing of good health, never in the memory of her children requiring a physician until the 9th of last November when she had a stroke of paralysis from which she never sufficiently recovered to be able to talk or care for herself, but while unable to speak she would hum familiar tunes and was often observed praying. Death came to deliver her distress February 14, 1928, at the age of 81 years, 11 months, and 7 days. She is survived by the children named, 24 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
The funeral service was held at the Methodist church at Mystic, Thursday afternoon conducted by the pastor Jas. A. Wilson who spoke from Galatians 3:26, and the mixed quartette composed of Mrs. Fannie Bradwell, Mrs. Ella Richardson, Ernest Massey and Paul McDaniel sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere", "The End of a Perfect Day", and "Going Down the Valley". The two societies mentioned held their memorial services at the church. The large gathering indicated the esteem in which Mrs. Philby was held. Burial was in the Highland Cemetery. These present from a distance were, George Lawton and wife from Galesburg, IL, James Lawton wife and daughter, Robert Lawton, and Mrs. Alvin Lowe of Newton, Iowa and Paul Turner from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
