Obituary Online notes for Sarah Jane COOK
Sarah Jane Cook married Daniel Moyer 19 Dec 1852 in Warren, Trumbull, OH.

By 1860, they migrated to Greenup, Cumberland, IL where their fourth child Daniel H. Moyer was born.

James Albert Moyer b 11 July 1857 in Warren, Trumbull, OH was her second child.

Her parents were Joseph Cook and Susannah unknown of Beaver County, PA, just across the border from Trumbull County, OH.

Sarah and Daniel's daughter Susan Moyer Bowman is buried beside them. Sarah Jane and daughter Susan share the same tombstone.

In the Greenup Cemetery book housed in the Greenup Library, Sarah Jane is listed as Susan J. Moyer. The person who transcribed the names for the cemetery book took the Susan from the daughter's name and the J. from the wife's name and put them together. But, be reminded that Sarah Jane Cook and her daughter Susan Moyer Bowman share the one tombstone.

Nearby is the first husband of their daughter-in-law Adline Ingle Moyer who married secondly James Albert Moyer. Adline's first husband was Benjamin Franklin Gooch. Along with Benjamin Gooch, Ben and Adline's four children are buried in the Greenup Cemetery.
