Please note the headstone photo is that of JANE GENTRY, not Sarah. However, Jane was the one born in 1849, Sarah was born around 1836 and died on December 1, 1924. Jane 's death certificate states that she was born on March 16, 1849, and died on November 15, 1924. Someone erroneously merged the two sisters' memorials. Sarah does not have a headstone.
