Born Sarah Ellidge in Franklin County. She was the daughter of Eliza (Gargis) and Tom Ellidge. She married (1) John Grosvenor on 29 March 1885. They had four children. John died in 1901. She married (2) Henry Silas "Si" Jarrett and after he died she married (3)John Easton in 1929. One daughter, Grace Welch, was murdered.
She was "Aunt Sarah" to all the Illinois Grosvenors for all the 1920s and 30s and the ultimate repository of family history and wisdom. She was a kindly soul, much loved by all who knew her. The earliest memory of this writer's life was playing under a quilt (that was in a frame hanging from the ceiling of the living room of the old house that Grandfather Parker built) during a quilting party. I so distinctly remember Aunt Sarah's black stockings and black high button shoes and black dress. She wore those "widow weeds" a lot during her life-time.
