  Sarah Jane Higgins Tipton was born in Missouri, February 7, 1843.  When four 
years old she accompanied her parents across the plains in covered wagon to 
Oregon, the trip requiring six months, and emigrants were in great danger from 
hostile Indians at many times.  They located in the Willamette river valley 
where Sarah Jane grew to womanhood.  In the 60’s the family removed to 
Roseburg, Ore., where on July 16, 1865, Sarah Jane Higgins was united in 
marriage to James Harrison Tipton.
  Mr. and Mrs. Tipton came to Idaho county and took up a homestead in 1883 
where the family home was maintained until removal to Clarkston, Wn, in 1902.  
Born to the couple were three daughters, Cynthia E. Tipton Chase, born July 
20, 1866, and died Nov. 25, 1901; Belle E. Tipton Yates, born June 12, 1872, 
and died April 12, 1902, and Amy Tipton who died in infancy.  Upon Mr. 
Tipton’s death in Clarkston in 1907, Mrs. Tipton returned to Idaho county and 
resided near Kooskia for many years.  She was a member of the Presbyterian 
church at Kooskia.
  Surviving are five grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, and 10 great,
