S. A. Carpenter
Mar. 1, 1820
[death date missing]
"Having served her generation by the will of God she fell asleep."

Sallie's inscription is on the back side of her husband's tombstone.  Her death 
date is missing from the tombstone, but is Jan. 14, 1914.  [An alternative 
death date of Jan. 4, 1914, has been given by some.]

Additional Comments:
Sarah Abigail "Sallie" Harlan was born on March 1, 1820, to Zachariah Harlan 
and Juda Wilkins.  After her father was murdered, she and her siblings became 
the wards of Thomas Carpenter.  She later married Thomas's son, James "Warren" 
Carpenter.  Together they had the following children:  Lydia Elizabeth; Mary 
Ann; Sarah Abigail; Marthena Candis; Mary Jane; Zachariah Thomas; David Harlan; 
Emily Caroline; and James Warren Jr. "Bud."  Sallie died on Jan. 14 [possibly 
Jan. 4], 1914.
