My father remembers seeing her while he was growing up (he was born in 1935). His cousin believes she died at the home of her daughter, Minerva, who was possibly married to Lee Smith and lived on a farm of sorts outside Springfield. > > She was born Sarah Elizabeth GRIFFITH about 1873 in Illinois. She married Unknown EVANS and had one son, Charles. She was married by about 1894 to John Irvan TANT, son of Levi Tant and Parthenia I. Bateman. They divorced between 1920-1930. Sarah lived in Illinois (birth- about 1908) and moved to Missouri (about 1909). By 1930 she was living in Michigan. During the summers she often visited Minerva's house in Springfield. > > > ==== ILSANGAM Mailing List ==== > Visit the Sangamon County Biography pages! Many biographies with lots > of pictures, too! >
