Sarah died from bronchial pneumonia. Her daughter Sarah was the informant on her death certificate.
OBIT:
Mrs. Sarah Odell McTeer, one of the bet and most favorably known pioneer women of Yamhill County, died in this city at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. L. H. Baker, last Wednesday morning.
Mrs. McTeer was the second child of John and Sarah Holman Odell, pioneers of 1851 and was born in Indiana, December 28, 1828. Her father was born In South Carolina in 1801 and died in Yamhill County in Jan. 29, 1869. Her mother was born in Kentucky in 1803 and died in Oregon on January 1, 1887. Her maternal grandfather Holman lived to be 101 years old and her paternal grandfather Martindale was 103 years old at time of death. so it may be seen that Mrs. McTeer descended from a long-lived ancestry, and, furthermore, the Holmans and Martindales were among the best and most influential people in the early days of Indiana and left a splendid heritage to their descendants in a good name, which is far above all riches.
Such a heritage Mrs. McTeer was always most grateful for and she, in turn, has left to her only surviving child of the four that were born to her the example of a noble, upright and useful life as a priceless treasure for her five surviving grandchildren and four great grandchildren. In early life Mrs. McTeer became a member of the Methodist episcopal Church and was a devoted and consistent Christian to the end of her days.
In the Odell family there were nine children, in the following order, all crossing the plains with their parents and making their first settlement in Yamhill County: Mrs. Martha Coovert; Sarah, the subject of this sketch; General William H. Odell, ex-surveyor-General and editor of the Oregon Statesman, Salem, for many years; Joseph Odell, James Odell, Dr. George W. Odell, Mrs. Mary Farnsworth, Mrs. Charlotte Alderman and Albert Odell. Of these there are four survivors, viz.: General Odell, Portland; Mrs. Alderman, Dayton, Or.; Albert Odell, McMinnville, and Dr. Odell, Portland.
