Notes
Had childhood memory of someone riding through town with the word that President Lincoln had been shot. Extant photograph with her great grand-daughter, Sally Bush Bell.

From William Ladd, distant relative discovered via ancestry.com:

Sarah J, "Aunt Sally", was a pretty, slender lady with twinkling gray eyes, a comfortable sense of humor, and a special warmth. She was Joshua and Lydia's fourth child, born in January 1855. She married Lee S. Crosby in 1875. Lee was a mail carrier in Corry, PA. Lee and Sally were a striking couple with their regal posture and neat appearance. Lee and Sally had three children, Elizabeth, Alice V, and Walter Cadis. From Elisabeth Ladd Grey's history, we know that Lee and Sally celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Sally enjoyed family gatherings, nice dresses, and "Lilly of the Valley" cologne.
