1897 - Obituary for Sarah's mother in "The Blossburg Advertiser", Fri., Dec. 24, 1897: Ralston Happenings; Mrs. Elizabeth Foder died at her home in this place, Dec. 17th, aged 84 years, 10 months and 26 days. Deceased was a daughter of John and Susannah Miller, of White Deer Valley and was born at that place January 21, 1813. She was married to Isaac Foder of Schenectady, N. Y., in 1841, and they came to Ralston in the spring of 1841, where she has since resided, her husband having died 16 years ago. They had but one child, a daughter, Mrs. G. W. Stratton, of Ogdensburg, who will long mourn the loss of a devoted mother. In her residence of nearly 60 years she has seen Ralston grow from a wilderness with two or three log houses to the flourishing little town of today. But changes come not only in the place but among her friends one by one the friends and relatives of her youth have passed away; and what wonder that she too, was willing and ready to pass away to that higher and better land where
No parting sighs are given
Where good-byes are never said,
Where bosom knows no sighing
And where tears are never shed.
