"Sarah was the second of four girls. Her mother died when she was a child and Godwin remarried. He brought his family to California by train in October 1869. Sarah not only raised her own thirteen children but assisted in the upbringing of three grandchildren (daughter Melissa's children) and two nieces and a nephew (children of Sarah's sister and Charles' brother James and Alice Hurt). She lost one child at five weeks from whooping cough, Charles Henry Jr., and in her family bible was a lock of his hair and a small piece of blue velvet which was the covering of his casket. An attached note written by daughter, Alice Hurt Long, stated that the family then lived in what was called "Swamp Land" - their first home in Round Valley where three of the children were born. This area was later drained by control of the creek and the road that runs by it is still called the Charley Hurt Highway.

While Charles Henry Hurt was a tall man, Sarah was short and could stand under the outstretched arm of her husband"
