Notes by John Emmet Todd, 1896: "Sarah Smith was born August 31, 1787. She was a wife and mother of the type commended by the author of Proverbs 31:10-31. She died at Canton, Illinois Feb. 1, 1879, and is buried in the lot with her husband. To them were born 13 children, who all grew up and were married, a very unusual record."
