Sara was the daughter of Nancy Williams (1843-1923) and John Crouch (1835-1903). Nancy was born on June 15, 1843 and died Jan 23, 1923. John Crouch was born Feb. 17, 1835 and died Oct 7, 1903. John and Nancy were married in September, 1860, in Glencoe, KY.
Sara Crouch married James Addison Huey (1862-1961) on June 29, 1881. Over the next twenty years, James and Sara had three children, Joseph Addison (1884-1963), Nan Elizabeth Huey (1893-1993) and James Gaines (1901-1935).
Sara's religious nature was an early and constant feature of her long life. In 1875, at age 14, Sara was baptized into the Oakland Baptist Church in Warsaw, KY and promptly became a Sunday School teacher there.
In 1886, Sara and husband James were charter members of the Union (KY) Baptist Church and attended there for sixty years. Sara was active in various Baptist women's organizations and was a teacher of the Women's Bible Class, giving it up only late in life as a result of failing eyesight.
James and Sara celebrated seventy-five years of marriage. They were, in the words of William Wordsworth: "a double tree with two collateral stems sprung from one root." Both Sara and James lived well into their tenth decade, cared for by doting children and grandchildren.
Sara Huey Couch Huey died on March 10, 1956.
