The Correctionville News
14 January 1915

J.P. Sargent and Mrs. G.L. Richardson received by telegram the sad intelligence last Saturday of the death of their mother, Mrs. Sarah Jane Sargent, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hovey, at Kooshia, Idaho, last Saturday January 9, 1915, at the advanced age of 83 years.

Deceased is a product of the New England states, having been born, reared and wed in the State of Maine. In the early 1870s she came west with her husband and family, and after a few years residence in Minnesota they located on a homestead on the Ridge north of Correctionville. The family made their home at that place until the death of Mr. Sargent in 1889 when Mrs. Sargent went to Idaho to spend her declining years with her daughter, Mrs. Hovey.

Mr. and Mrs. Sargent reared six children, 3 sons and 3 daughters, all of whom survive except for one son and one daughter, Mrs. Ploomey Pitt and James Sargent.

The living are P.J. Sargent of this place, Winfield S. Sargent of Boone, Mrs. Carrie Smith of Illinois and Mrs. Hovey of Idaho.

While no information has been received as to the funeral arrangements, it is thought probable that the remains will be laid to rest at Kooshia, Idaho.
