She was married to Martin Van Buren Straight in 1870 and 5 children were born to this union. Mr. Straight passed away in 1918. The Chillicothe Constitution Tribune, June 15, 1931 Adams County Free Press (Corning, Iowa), Thursday, June 4, 1931, [p. 1] Obituary – Sarah Jane Linthicum was born in Adams County, Ill., November 1, 1850 and died Tuesday, May 27, 1931, at the age of 80 years, 6 months and 26 days. She was married to Martin Van Buren Straight in 1870 and five children were born to this union, Almer; Lorenzo and Loretta, who were twins; and Fred and Eddie, who were also twins. These children, thirteen grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, two brothers and a sister survive this good woman. Mr. Straight passed away in 1918. Three years ago while visiting in the home of her son in Decatur County, she fell and broke her hip, and was brought to Brooks to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Craig, who gave her tender and loving care until she passed away last Tuesday. In that room in her daughter’s home, she gave out sweetness, charity, sympathy and comfort to all who came into her presence. If she suffered she never complained. She loved to talk of pioneer days when her father, Hezekiah Linthicum, was a Methodist Episcopal circuit rider and was sent to Chillicothe, Mo., in the fifties. He would start out on Saturday afternoon, taking a three bushel sack with him, and would return a week from the following Monday with his week’s salary in the sack, which would usually be different kinds of vegetables, a side of bacon and frequently a chicken. The only doll she ever owned was a rag one which came by the sack route. Its dress was made from a piece of linsey woolsey, a homespun material of those days. A little hand-made wagon was also brought home on one of these trips with the spokes, wheels and nails all whittled out of wood. During the days of 1860, central Missouri became a dangerous place in which to live and the conference called Rev. Linthicum back to Quincy, Ill., and later the family came to western Iowa. Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon from the Methodist church in Brooks, conducted by Rev. C. R. Saville. Interment was made in the Guss cemetery.
