The peculiar matrimonial experience of Sara Dana made her life interesting to all her friends. She never saw her husband, Dr. John B. Harmon, until her wedding day, February 26, 1822. The marriage was arranged by Mrs. Leavitt, her aunt, who was always keenly interested in the welfare of her young friends. Dr. Harmon drove to Miss Dana's home in Pembroke, N.Y., was married, and started for Warren the next day, his conveyance being a double-team sleigh. Their married life was a happy one. Mrs. Harmon kept track of his patients, looked carefully after the house, provided his home comforts with economy, and left him free of all such cares as often vex men in their homes. She was a good cook, and enjoyed surprising her family with new dishes. Her experience was ever at the disposal of the young, who lacked in the requisites of good housekeeping. She was a lover of flowers, and her door yard was as full of them as economy would permit.
She was a quiet, unobtrusive, but a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church.
