Sallie was orphaned at age thirteen and cared for by her brothers and sisters. She attended the Dover one room country school and then went to Warrensburg Normal School and became a teacher.
She went to Colorado to teach, in 1883, in a school near the home of her Uncle Ben Quick. She was exchanging adoring letters with her man friend back home and they became engaged. When the term was over in late January, she came home to be married. She was staying at "Edgewood Farm", the home of her sister, awaiting the coming event. Just two weeks before the wedding was to be, she suddenly became sick and died.
It is believed the intended groom was Lon Schnorf, a close neighbor and the local blacksmith. It is said that they both loved to dance.
Information for the above was gathered from old letters and the biographical notebook of her sister Harriet Quick Little.
