Pike County, Journal
Zebulon, GA., Tuesday, September 3, 1889

Mrs. Sarah Rachels, of this county, now in her 87th year is the mother
of five children and the widow of an old soldier who fought in the
revolutionary war. She was married at the age of sixteen to a man of
eighty years. Perhaps she is the only widow of a Revolutionary soldier
now living.
