Sarah and Charles both had children by previous marriages, but there were no children from this union. Obituary (March 1881- Lake County, California Newspaper) Mrs. Sarah Copsey, widow of the late C.C. Copsey, a pioneer of Lake county and the step-mother of Coroner S.A. Copsey, died at the residence ot her daughter Mrs Spencer, near Lakeport, last Friday. She had reached a ripe old age, honored and respected by all she knew her. One remarkable thing in her last illness, was her long fast. She was sick 72 days, the first seven of which, she took a little nourishment but after that not a bite of food of any description passed her lips, thus fasting for 65 days. So far as we know, the longest fast on record without nourishmeant of any kind, drinking only a very little water during the time. Dr. Thornton, who attended her, kept a correct account of the time she went with out food.
