General Notes: Wife - Sarah Overholt

---

She was very sociable, enjoyed company and was fond of playing jokes.
During her husband's absence at night when off on a journey, bears and wolves would be her nightly visitors, and with only a shawl for a door, they would push it aside and walk to her bed which would waken her, and then came the battle for the right of property. She had frequently been treed by wolves. She was an expert climber.
