Little daughter of George W. Shields and Laura Hayes. I would like to know when Sarah was born but may never know. Only guessing, 1856 is probably a good estimate since her brother, Frank, was born in 1858. Her parents married in January 1855 so she would have been 4 years or less when she passed on.

The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Shields are requested to attend the funeral of their little daughter Sarah, at 10 o'clock this morning, from their residence, corner of Summer and Gay streets. Divine service by Elder P.S. Fall.
February 16th, 1860.

Information from Mount Olivet Cemetery Records (copies of original ledgers on microfilm).

Name in Records: Geo. W. Shields (does not say child of)
Date of Burial: February 15, 1860

Sarah's given name has not yet been found anywhere in Mt. Olivet records. Her interment records always gives only her father's name. Sarah's obituary is the only source I have found that gives her name.
