An excerpt from the bio on her son, Charles Day Crouch includes some information about Sarah Ann:
CROUCH, CHARLES DAY - Manufacturer, Los Angeles, California, was born on a farm near Port Byron, Illinois, the sixteenth day of December, 1859, the son of Stephen D. and Sarah A. (Day) Crouch. His American ancestors were among the early German settlers in the region generally described as the "Pennsylvania Dutch" portion of the Keystone State. Mr. Crouch's father was among those who early responded to President Lincoln's call for troops. He was a sergeant in the Fifty-fifth Illinois Infantry when he met his death on the first day of the Battle of Shiloh, Sunday morning, April 6, 1862...
Left fatherless at the age of two years, Mr. Crouch from his earliest childhood took upon his shoulders burdens that few men have to encounter. By the time he was eight he was driving a plow with four oxen and enduring the hardships of winter and summer with the scant clothing his mother was able to afford. He received his early schooling in the country schools of Illinois , but this was limited to a few months in the winter time.
In 1871 he removed with his mother to a homestead in Madison County, Nebraska. Four years of toil and hard ship amid the bleak winds and the grasshoppers of the Nebraska prairies are the memories of this period. At the end of four years his mother died and with a younger sister he undertook an overland journey with a yoke of oxen to Atlantic, Iowa, where he had an uncle living.
