The FindAGrave
entry has no biographical information. An extensive web search turned up no other information, but the headstone gives both her birth date, 29 December 1885, and her death date, 28 January 1989.
The year that Sarah was born, George Eastman invented the modern method of photography; the Washington monument was dedicated; and the Statue of Liberty was begun in France.
The year that Sarah died, the first 24 Global Positioning Satellites went into orbit (beginnings of this, and other, hobbies); and Florida and Virginia were the first 2 states to allow DNA to be used as individual evidence (like fingerprints).
As usual, I have included contextual photos to help locate the headstone, in case there is difficulty with the GPSr satellite reception.
