"[Case, ] Sarah Jane, b. 25 Nov. 1848; d. 17 Apr. 1914; m. 27 Apr. 1869

29 Nov. 1832, son of John and Anna (Root) Needham. No children."
(This is less than accurate, as the census records clearly show Sarah
born in 1842, three children, and John never referred to as a librarian,
but most usually as a crockery merchant.)
