| 6151 | Sarah Ann Bardwell Obituary: Sarah Ann Bardwell, daughter of H.C, and S.M. Tolland, was born in Jefferson County, Mississippi Sept, 24, 1841 and died at her home in Clark County, Arkansas at 2 P.M., May 14, 1888. She was converted and joined the Methodist Church, South at Anon, Mississippi, Jan. 22, 1858, and came to Arkansas Dec 24, 1870. She was the Mother of nine children only one of who has preceded her to the grave. When dying she told her daughter Janie she was prepared to go, and she wished the Lord would take her, and not let her suffer so long. She was in agonies of death about twelve hours. She then expressed a desire to talk to all the family. And it seemed that strength was given her in tht last hour to do so. Her Husband came first to the bedside and she said to him. "Take care of my Children, try to get them to live right, and use the rest of your time in preparing to meet me in Heaven." She told her oldest son to live a better boy and to try to persuade the others to live better. "She told James, another son to take care of his little brother and to mee her in Heaven". To her youngest daughter she said "Be a good girl and do not throw yourself away, and never attend a dance." To her baby boy she said, "Try and make a good man," and pointing upward said, "Meet me up Yonder." Buried at Thompson Chapel Cemetery, Clark County, Arkansas | Toland, Sarah Ann (I32585)

| 6153 | Sarah DeRemer Knauss (née Clark; September 24, 1880 – December 30, 1999) was an American supercentenarian considered the world's oldest living person by Guinness World Records from April 16, 1998, the date of the death of 117-year-old Canadian Marie-Louise Meilleur, until her own death. At age 117, she also set the record for the world's oldest "new" title-holder (which corresponds to the highest "valley" on a graph of the oldest living persons over time). Knauss is the second-oldest fully documented person ever, behind Jeanne Calment, and the oldest person ever of the western hemisphere. She was the last verified living person to have been born before 1885, and the most recent person to reach age 117. | Clark, Sarah DeRemer (I39748)

| 6154 | Sarah V., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Gray, and wife of Isaac Cooley died at their home near Loon Lake on Sunday afternoon July 13, aged 20 years. She was a young lady of more than ordinary ability, a general favorite among her many friends, idolized by loving parents and especially so by her young husband to whom she was wedded less than one year ago. She was a great sufferer for months, and here untimely death casts a gloom over the entire community. She was a member of "Rising Sun" Lodge I.O.G.T. of this place. The funeral was held at the family residence Wednesday at 3 o'clock. (Hornellsville Weekly Tribune, Friday, July 18, 1890) | Gray, Sarah Victoria (I2436)

|
| 6157 | Sarah's husband name as 'Nathan' is based on his address in 1874 Rochester directory, of 11 Centre Park, same address noted on Sarah death record with St.Luke's church. Nathan was a shade fixture manufacture from about 1868 to 1879 in Rochester (at several locations and different partners). I find no record of him in the 1870 or 1880 census in Rochester. There was an Alfred in the same address in 1868 where he is living but cannot find him either. He was a partner with a Samuel B. Rowe Jr for a time in 1873, this Samuel was from Camilus,Onondaga Co.,NY and apparently returned there after 1874. He was a partner with Azel Gay from 1876 until 1878 when Azel was killed working for the railroad (blinded snow train collision, 23Dec1878). | Campbell, Nathan (I14946)

| 6158 | Sarah, daughter of John Wilcocks, who arrived in New England in 1639 and was an original proprietor of Hartford.

John died in Hartford in 1651 and his wife Mary, died in 1668. | Wilcocks, Sarah (I2653)

| 6159 | Saturday, December 21, 1918, Paper: Morning Star (Rockford, IL) pg. 3 Kind death came yesterday morning at 7:15 o'clock to extinguish the eerie light in the eyes of Minerva Lander and summon her fearless spirit to doff the mantle of mortality n which it had endured with fortitude two years of suffering and enter on the greatest adventure. Minerva was the eldest of five children born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Lander of 1016 Haskell avenue, but she declined to abdicate in favor of later arrivals and held her place as baby of the family until she attained womanhood, through the wealth of affection she lavished on her parents. She was born in Rockford, Feb. 12, 1897, and spent all of her life in this city. Although sadly handicapped by ill health, she went through the grade schools with credit and entered Rockford high school, where her diminutive stature, alert perceptions and faculty for unique verbal expressions attracted the attention o her teachers, and after her graduation with the class o 1917 they joined with other friends in securing for her the honor of a scholarship at Rockford College, where she planned to prepare for newspaper work. She managed to keep up a desultory attendance at the college during the fall of 1917, in spite of her ailments, but was forced to surrender to physical weakness at the holiday vacation and spent the remainder of her days in smiling resignation to the decree of fate. She read widely and discerningly but never lost interest in dolls or airy tales. Besides her parents, she is survived by a sister, Miss Mary Lander, and two brothers, Laurens and Quintin Lander. Another brother, Reed, died in infancy. She was a niece of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Frary, of 313 North Central avenue. | Lander, Minerva (I44260)

| 6164 | Schmedlen's Carriage Works was located at 23 to 25 Hanchett Street, Coldwater, Michigan. "The Dream Maker, William C. Durant, Founder of General Motors", by Bernard A. Weisberger: Durant's destiny was at an intersection, too. It was disguised as his friend, John Alger, who worked at Jim Bussey's hardware store. Destiny, in this unlikely manifestation, was waving at him from the seat of a two-wheeled cart, offering him a lift. Gratefully, he climbed in. The cart was simple, little more than a modified sulky. It's four-foot wheels held between them a simple seat, barely twenty-four inches wide, a tight fit for two adult bottoms, surrounded by a low iron bar for hanging on. The passenger's and driver's feet rested on a curved, slatted footboard. The whole thing resembled a ferris wheel's chair, brought down to earth. But when Durant squeezed himself in, and the horse was giddupped into a trot, he made a pleasant discovery. The seat swayed easily up and down and side to side, with none of the hard bouncing and shaking that usually went with a ride in a light vehicle. When they dismounted, Durant made a quick examination, and discovered the secret in a beautifully simple idea. It was all in the mounting of the seat on the springs. They were half-elliptical, curving forward from the rear axle like old-fashioned pistols fastened by their butts. At the top of the "barrels" were horseshoe-shaped stirrups, through which the shafts ran. It rode up and down with the flexing steel, but the stirrups moved freely around the shafts, so that none of their vibration was felt. Durant was entranced. The cart was slight, graceful-looking, smooth-riding, and above all, so simple that it was clearly inexpensive to make. It would be an ideal form of individual transportation for short distances. In his mind was an idea that he had not yet put into words: the inspired salesman should look for a self-seller, and if he could not find one, make one. He saw himself selling the cart to young men of modest means, showing them at how little cost they could be borne swiftly, comfortably on necessary errands, or on the pursuit of legitimate relaxation. And he knew at that moment that the demand he could create for the cart would be so great that no one of lesser clairvoyance than himself could be trusted to take the risks necessary to fill it. He would be manufacturer as well as salesman. He found out from John Alger that the cart had been made in Coldwater, some seventy-five miles away. His other affairs pushed aside, he got on the local train the very next day, spent the night at Coldwater's hotel, and on the following morning poked his head inside the door pointed out to him as belonging to the cart "factory" of William Schmedlen and Thomas O'Brien. He was comforted at once by the familiar smell of shavings. He was in the carpenter shop. Around him were unfinished spokes, shafts, and seatboards. From another room in the back he could hear the clanking of hammers. That would be where the blacksmiths were working on bolts, springs, fittings. That was all. There was no office. The plant, he judged quickly, looked as if it might turn out two carts a day. He found O'Brien, pleasant-faced and fiftyish, among the carpenters. To him, he explained softly, quickly, why he was there. He had ridden in their cart, liked it "immensely", thought it had a "wonderful future." He had very little money, but wanted to buy a small interest in the concern. O'Brien listened thoughtfully, and answered. They did not need another partner, he was sure, but they might be willing to sell the whole outfit. But Schmedlen ought to be asked. He stepped back into the blacksmiths' room and returned with a young man whom Durant immediately found likable - alert and self-confident, like himself. Perched on a carpenter's bench, he chatted with them awhile, then asked: "If the business is for sale, what is the price?" They were possibly surprised by the quickness of the question, but obviously required no elaborate accounting to come up with the answer. For $1,500 anyone could take away everything - finished and unfinished carts, lumber and parts on hand, dies and patterns. Schmedlen held the patent on the spring-and-stirrup combination, and wanted a royalty, but Durant said no to that, and got his way. Then he made his proposal, directly and without hesitation or bluff. He did not have the money. But he thought he could raise it, if they would give him some time. Let them all step over to the office of Schmedlen and O'Brien's attorney and draw up a bill of sale and an assignment of patent, and deposit them in the partnership's bank. He would leave for Flint immediately. If the funds were not in the Schmedlen and O'Brien account in five days, the deal was off. Durant-Dort Carriage Company 1886-1917 Originally known as the Flint Road Cart Company, the Durant-Dort Carriage Company became the largest producer of carriages in the country and most likely in the world. Soon after this, the co-founders, William Crapo Durant & Josiah Dallas Dort went on to found General Motors.

| 6180 | SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - John Burditt Lake, 81, died Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010, at Scottsdale Osborne Hospital, from advanced complications of Post-Polio Syndrome. He was born Jan. 29, 1929, in Harvard. He was one of four children of George Burditt Lake and Vera Hannah Hofmeister Lake. Upon graduating from Illinois College, he married Marilyn Ystebo and soon thereafter took over the third-generation family lumber and hardware business known as Lake Lumber in Harvard. As a member of Rotary, he received "Man of the Year" and other accolades for his many contributions to the community. He also received an award of appreciation from the Harvard Rescue Squad as performing an honorable service to the unit and community. Finally tiring of the Northern Illinois harsh winters and desiring a climate more favorable to his health and that of Marilyn, in 1970 he sold his business and moved his young family to Phoenix, Ariz. Wishing to again own a small business, he bought and operated a gift shop in the old Thomas Mall named Nutville USA. In the mid-1970s he returned to the lumber business by becoming a salesman at a large lumber wholesaler in the valley called Malco. It was the business he knew best and enjoyed, and as a result, received top salesman honors for many years until retiring 25 years ago. A gourmet cook, voracious reader of history, and collector of coins and stamps, he very much enjoyed his retirement. His greatest passion, however, was his thorough and prolific research of genealogy. Having spent much of his adult life documenting the lineage of the Lake family, he spent many Saturdays pouring through the Mormon Library in Mesa tracing the family through more than 200 years of rich history. His work resulted in a spectacular collection of volumes illustrating the lives and images of the family of which he was extraordinarily proud. He is survived by his daughter, Kathleen S. Cochran of Phoenix; his son, Michael Lake of Warwick, N.Y.; and two grandchildren, Cooper and Parker. Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at Shepherd of the Hills Church, 5524 E. Lafayette Boulevard, Phoenix, Ariz. | Lake, John Burditt (I20596)
