Biography

Sarah Margaret Thompson entered the world on September 28, 1844, in the rolling hills of Tennessee. From her earliest days, she was imbued with a spirit of resilience and fortitude that would define her journey through life.

By the dawn of the 1870s, Sarah had made her home in Elkins Township, Clark County, Arkansas. It was amidst the tranquil beauty of this rural community that she began to weave the tapestry of her existence, finding solace and purpose in the simple rhythms of daily life.

As the decades unfolded, Sarah's presence remained a constant in the fabric of Elkins Township. Through the census records of 1880, 1900, and 1910, her name stood as a testament to her enduring connection to the land and community she called home.

Yet, as the sun set on the summer of 1910, Sarah's earthly journey reached its conclusion. On August 8th of that year, she bid farewell to this world, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion that would endure for generations to come. Her mortal remains found their eternal resting place amidst the sacred grounds of Old Rome Cemetery in Okolona, Clark County, Arkansas, a testament to a life lived with grace and dignity. Though her earthly form may have passed, Sarah's spirit lives on in the hearts of all who were touched by her gentle presence.
