17. Sarah A. WINANS was born on 7 Mar 1834 in Ohio. ^{(111)(112) (113)} She was living in 1850 in Spring Creek Township, Miami, OH. ⁽¹¹⁴⁾ She was a Nurse in 1900 in Newberry Township, Miami County, OH.⁽¹¹⁵⁾ She was buried on 10 May 1909 in Sugar Grove Cemetary, Newberry Township, Miami County, OH.^{(116) (117)} Sugar Grove Cemetary is on Sugar Grove Road, west of Route 46 in Miami County. Sarah is buried in section 6. She died on 3 Oct 1909 in Greenville, Darke, Ohio.^{(118) (117)} 1900 census indicates five children, but only one living in 1900. 1880 census indicated two children, 1870 census indicated three children. Children were:

i. Mathias ELLER died between 1860 and 1870. He is not listed in the 1870 census. He was born July 1852 - June 1853 in Ohio.⁽¹¹⁹⁾
ii. Mary A. ELLER died between 1860 and 1870. She is not listed in the 1870 census. She was born July 1853 - June 1854 in Ohio. ⁽¹²⁰⁾
iii. Clarence ELLER was born on 12 Aug 1855 in Ohio. ^{(121)(122) (123)} The name of a child with this birth year is "Roland" in the 1860 census and "Clarence" in the 1870 census.

He died on 26 Apr 1900.^{(65) (125)} Sarah's letter to George refers to Clarence's children buying a gravestone for his grave. May be "Roland" and not "Clarence," based on the 1860 census information.

Despite the 1860 census, a letter from Sarah Eller to Daniel Eller confirms that this son was named "Clarence."

She died on 22 May 1886 in Ohio.^{(8) (129)} Sarah Eller is listed in the 1900 census as having only one living child, who could only have been Daniel at the time. Therefore, Fannie must have died before to June 1900.
