Sarah Martha Barnhart and her son Myron E. Leon
Sarah Martha Barnhart was born in New York on June 2, 1849. Her father's name was Jacob Barnhart. (He originated from Connecticut.)
The death record states that Sarah's mother's name was "Pratt;" however, on one of her marriage certificates, it listed her mother's name as Sarah Martin. At one point,
Sarah evidently married a Mr. Leon, because she had a son named Myron E. Leon

it spelled her name as Mary E. Danna.] - Mrs. Mary E. Danna was a sister of Mrs. Charles Dudley. Mrs. Danna's daughter, Mrs. W. H. Hawley of Kolin, Montana was present.
