George and Sarah Eliza were the parents of four children. From about age forty, she was badly crippled with arthritis after a fall and spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Madge Fox remembers her grandmother coming to visit from Bradford, PA to Newark, NY on the train. Her wheelchair was placed in a boxcar and she rode with the boxcar door open to see the scenery. When Sara’s husband, George, was postmaster in Waukena, NY, in the Adirondack Mountains, she kept a small store and arranged to have postcards made of the area which she sold. She died at South Bradford, PA on 13 October 1931 at age 87 after being bedridden for five years. She managed to save $200 from her small pension to pay for her funeral and for the gravedigger.
