Birth & Death dates came from the diary Margaret Teresa Jane "Janie" (Davenport) Hice kept while her children were sick & dying in the summer & fall of 1893.

"Sarah was 24 years old August 24, and was taken sick October 26th and died Nov. 10th A few days before she took sick she said, "Mother I cannot live, for it seems to me that my heart is broken and I must die. All the rest of the children is gone and I want to go too. I have no company now. It seems to me like I have got no home, and if I was to live it would not be like home anymore, for they are all gone, and I want to die too, for nothing in this world is no pleasure to me. Ten thousand worlds like this would be no pleasure to me. There is not anything I want to live for Mother, I hate to leave you in so much trouble but I pray to the Lord to be with you. I can't stay with you but the Lord's will has to be done, and I don't want you to grieve about me for I want to die. If I would live it would be trouble to me, but I believe that the Lord will take me home in a few days to the rest of the children and then my trouble will be over, when I reach that happy shore. Mother, do the best you can. I will pray to the Lord to enable you and papa to bear your trouble, and look to the Lord and believe, and he will help you. Mother my faith is great in the Lord. While dying she called to Mary and mother saying pray for me that I may die easy, and in a few minutes was gone as if she was asleep."
