Sarah Elvira Brewer is the daughter of William Alexander Brewer and Margaret Isabelle Scott. She was with her parents and six siblings when they crossed the plains with ox teams arriving in Lane County, Oregon, late in the fall of 1853.
Sarah married Rev. Pleasant H Harper. Together they had eight children. One of them died in early childhood.
Sarah died two years after the birth of her last child. She died on 6 Nov 1875. She was only 29 years old.
*****************************
Note: It is not confirmed that Sarah is actually buried here. However, it is the closest cemetery to where she was living when she died, "on the Goodell Place on Mound Prairie" according to a letter written by her sister Mary Harris. "...the roads were so bad and the watters so high..." that it would have been hard to take her and little William, who died just a couple days prior, also of typhoid fever, to a more distant cemetery.
