About 1834 Sarah, refered to as "Tat", Lucy & her children( both were widowed)& a brother traveled west to Red Willow Co by wagon from Friend,NE. Previous to this they had lived near Rushville,IL. A farm was homesteaded in Sarah's name. About 1900 she moved into Cedar Bluffs, Kansas where she spent her remaining days. The following story was written by her grand niece Roberta Jean Witham. She was ten when Tat died & there is an exageration of her age, but it was a story she treasured enough to write down years later.
"I remember the day Aunt Tat died. She walked almost three blocks to the store & purchased a quart of ice cream & three bananas. She went home and ate them, sat down and smoked her corn cob pipe. She'd done this since a young girl in Kentucky. She laid down and went to sleep at the age of 100 years 11 days. Her pipe was still warm when they found her."
