George's untimely death left Sarah now a widow at age 34 with six children still at home. Times were hard after the war ended but all six children managed to reach adult hood and all had gotten married but by the the time Sarah signs her will on March 22,1899, Isham Jack, George W. and Vina M., all three had died from one reason or another and were not included as an heir in their mother's will.
