Sarah was the daughter of Willis Watkins and Elizabeth Bales. She was probably born in or near Upper Clear Lake.
Sarah was married on Oct. 1, 1876 in Butte Co., California to James Henry Greiner (born c1853 in Virginia). It was to be a short-lived marriage as Sarah was later noted as having been committed to the "Napa Asylum" in about 1877; an inmate of about one year.
In 1880, she is enumerated in the household of her brother-in-law, James Wesley Parker (husband of her older sister Elizabeth) in Douglas Township in San Joaquin County. She also appears on the 1880 Schedules of Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent Classes as insane.
She was both committed and admitted to the Stockton State Hospital in San Joaquin County on April 24, 1883. Sarah was enumerated as a patient in the Stockton State Hospital in 1900 and died there on January 16, 1908 of Tuberculosis.
She would have been buried at the second state hospital cemetery site at 2800 North California Street.
Sarah's mother and two older brothers died at the Stockton State Hospital in 1871 and 1872, and would have been buried at the old state hospital cemetery behind the Women's facility at the end of Acacia Street (now 510 E. Magnolia Street).
