Sarah Ann White was born at Orange, Ohio in 1851. At the age of three, she traveled with her family by covered wagon to Utah, where they settled in the Salt Lake Valley.
Sarah and Capt. Richard Person Pilington were married in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1872. They were parents of two boys: James Henry (Harry), born in 1873 at Ophir, Utah, and William Richard, born at Ward, Nevada in 1877.
In 1880, her husband Richard lost his eye sight due to an explosion in a silver mine in Nevada. The family then moved to Illinois.
In 1883, they moved west again to file claim on free land in Washington Township, Hyde County, South Dakota, where they built their home on the prairie and engaged in farming and ranching.
Later, their sons took over the ranch, and Sarah and Richard moved in the town of Highmore. Sarah was a charter member of the Women's Relief Corps, John Dix Post #30, G.A.R., which she helped organize in 1895. This was an auxiliary organization for the Veterans of the Civil War.
She died November 17, 1945 at Highmore, SD.
