Sarah Click was born October 2, 1840. (1) No church records were found at St. Jacob’s Lutheran Church. One can assume that the record either wasn’t transcribed or it has been lost. Sarah married Henry Goodenberger, October 9, 1864 in Stark County. (2) Henry was born in June 1834 in Pennsylvania. (3) Henry was shown as a blacksmith in the 1870 Federal Census with real estate worth $1,000. The 1900 Federal Census recorded that Sarah had given birth to seven children (Mary, Samuel, Julia, Clayton, Jane, Clem and Susan) but only three were still living. Henry died on February 2, 1909. (4) On the census record, Sarah indicated that she could not read or write and that she could not speak English – only German. The 1920 census indicates that Sarah was living with her widowed daughter, Mary Smith, and her children in Carroll County, OH. Sarah died October 26, 1921. (5)
