Sarah's mother died in 1849. Sarah married Evan P. Phillips on September 3, 1857 in Belmont County, Ohio. They moved to Clay, Lafayette County, Missouri by 1860 where Evans was a carpenter. Evans was killed there during the Civil War by Confederate guerrilla fighters. Evans' headstone mentions his service in Co. I, 5th Provisional Enrolled Militia, but that became Co. D, 71st Missouri E.M.M. Union Army, under Capt. Neill, where Evans was promoted to Sergeant. He enrolled on August 4, 1862 in the 71st at Lexington, Lafayette, Missouri, when he was 29 years old. His service record states that he began service on August 11, 1862 and was killed on a scout mission only 17 days later, on August 28, 1862 near Greenton, Lafayette, Missouri. From "The History of Lafayette County," by the Missouri Historical Company, St. Louis, 1881, page 481, it states, that Evan was actually killed by Bloody Bill Anderson. The quote reads, "In September of 1862, 'Bill' Anderson, with thirteen men, met four of Col. Henry Neill's men named: Evan[s] Phillips, Wm. Iddings, [Daniel] Wm. King and [Charles F.]---- Meyers, on the Lexington road east of Big Sni. The bushwackers took them into Washington township, in the vicinity of Mayview and there shot them. Their remains were found about four weeks later." Evans had a younger brother, John Henry Phillips (1843-1864) who would also join the Union militia in Missouri. He joined the Co. F, 51st Regiment EMM on April 30, 1864 and went into service on June 13, 1864. He was killed about three months later, on September 18, 1864, at age 21, while fighting near Lexington, Missouri and is also buried in the same cemetery as Evans and Evans' and Sarah's baby daughter. Sarah and Evans had at least one child, an infant named Anna Evans Phillips (1862-1862). Sarah was pregnant at the time Evans was killed. Her baby was born two months later but sadly died only about 5 weeks after she was born. Obituary from The Belmont Chronicle, St. Clairsville, Ohio, Thursday, August 10, 1876: "Mrs. Phillips, daughter of Wm. Hardesty, died after an illness of many years, on Monday night, and her remains were interred in the Union cemetery of this place on yesterday. During the war, Evan Phillips, the husband of the deceased, was murdered in Missouri by the guerrillas. The shock caused by his death prostrated the faithful wife and from that day to the day of her death she was in bad health."
