Notes
Born on August 7, 1822, Sarah has the second-earliest birth date among those buried in the cemetery, preceded only by John Motley Hensely (1806–1898). She is also the only person with surname “Johnson” at the cemetery, and, so far, no records have been found that could tell us more about her life. One possible match is a Sarah Johnson, born in Georgia in August 1822, that appears as head of household and widower in the 1900 U.S. census covering Blythe Township, Marion County, Arkansas. The listing reveals she had a servant, Elisabeth Canadis, who had a son, Dales Canadis. She may have some relationship to Richard T. Jenkins, who is buried near her and died a year later. The exact circumstances of why she is buried in the cemetery remains a mystery.
