She died 9/23/1847 at the age of 25 yrs 10 days, in Mercer County, Illinois. Sarah is buried in New Boston Cemetery and her tombstone records that she was the wife of James Monroe Willits.

NOTE: Family Records state that Sarah (Myers) Willits died just 13 days after the birth of her daughter Orpha Miranda, who was born in 1849 BUT Sarah's tombstone clearly says she died in 1847? So one of these is a misprint?
