Notes - Sarah's grandson remembers her as a "tough old lady". She admitted herself into a senior's home in her 90's - no one else was going to put her into one (tell her what to do). Her parents died when she was young and she went to live with the John F Allen family. Her grandson says with a smile "she looked the Allen's over and married the best one".
