    Notes:

    (Medical):Her grandaughter Olive said that Sarah's daughter Lil came home from work to find Sarah on the floor; she had suffered a stroke while getting the rabbit stew dinner out of the oven. She lived for a couple of days until she died.

    Family Story:
    Sarah was a good old lady, helping anybody who was ill. Her niece Kate Boast once stood on a stool and fell off, nearly ripping her ear off. Sarah quickly bound it up with castor oil to save it.

    Sarah might have worked for Isobel Charters, an artist who had exhibited at the Royal Academy. Isobel lived near Victoria Park, Leicester. Previously, Sarah's sister Lizzie Nixon had worked for Isobel Charters, before Lizzie went to Australia. Sarah's daughter Lilian also knew Isobel Charters, she may have worked for her as well. Isobel helped get Sarah's son, Joe, admitted to the Towers Hospital in 1925. Isobel Charters gave Lil two paintings and left her some money in her Will. One painting was given to Olive Smith and the other to Edna Smith, children of Lil's brother, Frank. Olive's painting was of a country cottage and Edna's painting was of a bluebell wood.

    Her granddaughter Olive said that Sarah's daughter Lil came home from work to find Sarah on the floor; she had suffered a stroke whilst getting the rabbit stew dinner out of the oven. She lived for a couple of days until she died.

    Her granddaughter, Olive, said it was snowing at the time of Sarah's funeral in 1929, and she couldn't go as she had to look after her younger brother and sister in South Harrow, Edna & Ron, whilst her parents, Frank & Emily, went to the funeral in Leicester.
