Sarah C. HARDEN, whose maiden name was HEATON, was born at what then known as Richmond, in Greene County, Indiana, just a neighborhood name, June 23, 1842. She died at the home of her daughter in Piggott, Arkansas, on Monday, March 15, 1920, being seventy-seven years, eight months and twenty-two days old. September 6, 1866, at the age of twenty-two, she was married to Adam S. HARDEN. To them were born seven children. The husband and father and four of these children preceded her in death. The surviving children are James Jefferson HARDEN, of Cincinnati, Indiana; Mrs. A. C. PETERSON, of Piggott, Arkansas, and Mrs. A. B. HEATON, of Centralia, Illinois. After the death of her husband a few years ago she gave up housekeeping and spent her last years with her daughter, Mrs. PETERSON, who cared for her very feeble mother with untiring devotion till she sank to rest. In her early life she became a member of the Baptist Church under the saintly ministry of Uncle Martin FULK. Her children brought her body back to Indiana, and after funeral services at the home of her brother, W. E. HEATON, on Thursday forenoon, March 18, 1920, she was laid to rest in the family burying ground, the HEATON Cemetery, some five or six miles northeast of Bloomfield, near where she was born. She left one brother, W. E. HEATON, and one aged sister, Bettie HAMILTON, for many years an invalid, not being able to walk.
