She was tall and slender, had a sweet gentle nature and was gifted in fine needlework and home-making. She attended school at Chapel Hill; but when she was a child, she was taught at home. William Wilson was a teacher at Chapel Hill and boarded with Sarah’s Father,Wiley D. Dorman. William Wilson had a charming manner and won Sarah’s love.

She was only seventeen when they married. Her step-mother,Elmina, gave them a pretty home wedding and big supper. Grandpa Wiley gave Sarah a girl slave named mahaley, a bed and furniture, a cow and calf,and a saddle-horse.He settled them at Chapel Hill on land that lay from school house.

Twice a week, Sarah spent the day back at home; and Grandma Elmina helped her with her sewing.Every sunday,Sarah and her family spent the day back home and the children played all afternoon.Sarah was a loving mother and looked after house duties well.March 31,1871 was a pretty, sunning morning.
