Her parents, Phanuel and Nancy McCabe Davis, moved to Guthrie County, Iowa when Sara Jane was a child. She grew up in Iowa and married Peter Luckinbill Jr. in 1864. They had three children: Willard, Clara Luckinbill Thompson Kerns, and Cora Luckinbill Rogers. She joined the Methodist Church in her early youth and lived a Christian life. In March of 1877 Sara Jane, Peter and their two small children moved to Rooks County Kansas. A few years later they moved to Glasco, KS where Cora Luckinbill Rogers was born on August 28, 1882. Peter, Sara Jane, Cora, Willard and his family, went to Colorado for Peter's health, he had TB. A short time later, on March 16, 1889 Peter died near Pikes Peak. Sara Jane and Cora stayed in Manitou Springs, Colorado where Sara Jane cooked at the hotel. When they returned to Glasco, Sara Jane and Cora lived with and kept house for the W.W. Palmer family. Later she rented a house and boarded and roomed some of the school teachers. Then she went to work keeping house for a widower, Mr. Brock, and his two small sons, Richard and Arlette. When Cora got married Sara Jane went to live with her. Sarah Jane was a charter member of the Pricilla Chapter of Eastern Star in Glasco and a member of the Women's Relief Corps. She passed away on Saturday, November 5, 1927 at the home of her daughter, Clara Luckinbill Thompson Kerns, in Simpson, KS. Her death that night was a surprise as she was well that day and had eaten well at supper time. After going to bed that night she suffered a severe pain in her chest and died a few minutes later. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Brock took Cora's family in their car to Simpson where Grandma lay in her casket at Clara'a home. Then the Brocks took Cora's family to Glasco for her funeral. Funeral services for Sara were held at 3:00 Monday afternoon at the Methodist Church in Glasco with Rev. E.L. Brooks presiding. The Pricilla Chapter O.E.S. was in charge of the services at the grave in the Glasco Cemetery Glasco, KS. She is buried on the Thompson's cemetery lot. Clara Rogers Brown's memories of her Grandma Luckinbill: Grandma Luckinbill spent a lot of time sitting in an old wicker rocking chair by the potbelly wood stove. I''ve been told that after Grandma was a little older, she would get in the wagon and drive the horses into town. She quit driving the horses to town after having a little accident in which a horse fell on the sidewalk crossing. Grandma made clothes for our dolls. My sister, Mary, wondered why her doll disappeared at Christmas time and then reappeared Christmas Eve with new clothes. She sewed and pieced quilts by hand. I wanted to sew too so Grandma would give me a pin, not a needle, with thread tied on it. I could not sew with that. I think she gave me a pin instead of a needle because needles were too expensive. Grandma would drive the horse and buggy to some of the neighbors who raised large gardens. She would buy green peppers and other fresh vegetables. We would stuff the peppers with cabbage and make pickled peppers. Onie drove the car, a one seated small roaster probably a Motel T, and took Grandma, Mom, Del, and me to Western Kansas to see my brother, Geroge, his wfe, Bernice and their daughter Deloris. They lived on a ranch near Codell, KS. On the way Grandma needed to go to the bathroom. The restrooms were outside. The woman's restroom door would not open so Grandma went into the men's restroom. That really surprised me! We stayed all night at Georgie's. On the way home we stopped at Uncle Willard's, probably in Hoxie, KS and stayed the night. Then the next day Grandma wanted to stop at a cemetery close to Bloomington, Osborne County, Kansas to find her dad's, Phanuel Davis, grave. The following is an excerpt from a book of Cloud County history: Oakes Home is one of the best hotel buildings in the county and few cities of 3000 population can produce as handsome a structure. Glasco is also favored with a most desirable private boarding house conducted by Mrs. Sarah Jane Luckinbill, who has been a resident of the Solomon Valley Community since 1880. Her house is a model of neatness and her table would please the most fastidious.
