Daughter of David Eby and Nancy Rice
Married Moses Ramsey Stubbs 1863. Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah.
No Known Children
Sarah was the sixth of seven known children in her family. Her father was a cabinet maker who brought the family west from Ohio in stages ending in Humboldt County, California.
She married her husband in 1863, evidently when he was serving with companies D, K and M, 2nd California Cavalry during the civil war. His unit was posted at Camp Douglas, Utah, much of 1863, several miles east of Salt Lake City charged with protecting the overland mail route and telegraph lines. He was enlisted as a musician. He applied for a pension as an invalid July 1890 and she as a widow March 1899. Both applications received a certificate.
Moses is returned in the census and voter registrations at various places in California and Idaho variously as a butcher, miner and stage driver. In 1880 Sarah and Moses are returned from Golden City (a gold mine), Tuolumne County, CA, he as a stage driver; in the same return close by are her brother Wilberforce Eby, carpenter, and sister Elizabeth, her husband George Jewett, quartz miner, and family.
Please read the attached obituary for other features of her life, particularly when the family lived close to Springfield, Illinois, and knew Abraham Lincoln whose office
she would visit as a child.
