Belding Banner, 14 Apr 1904

Sarah Dixon was born in Roxbury, Conn., Jan. 22, 1810.  Her mother died when 
she was a small child, and her father who was a sailor by occupation, left her 
in the care of an uncle while away on a voyage.  He left New York Sept. 1818 
and his loved ones never heard from him again.

On Feb. 7, 1828, Edmund Ingalls and Miss Sarah Dixon were married in Roxbury, 
Conn., six children came to bless this union, two of whom died in infancy.  In 
June 1844 Edmund Ingalls with wife and family came to the township of Otisco 
and settled on the farm where she lived and died.  Two children survive her, 
Mrs. Amisa Hull of Smyrna and Frank Ingalls of Otisco, he being the youngest 
lived with her until her death.  She has been in declining health for nearly 
six months and quietly passed away on Monday, April 11, 1904, aged 94 years, 2 
months and 20 days.  She experienced religion at the age of 16 and has always 
lived a devoted and consistent member of the Baptist church.  The whole life 
example of Mrs. Ingalls has been one of kindness among her friends and 
neighbors, and by her death her children lose a loving devoted mother.  Funeral 
service was held Wednesday.
