Called "Aunt Jane". Elva BROBST’s address book [1930s] shows her as ‘S. Jane YOCUM’ at 913 Liberty, Allentown PA.
1880 census, Jane shows as the wife of Elijah L. YOCUM in Locust Tp, Columbia Co PA [p. 248, family #229]. They are living with his parents.
Jane YOCUM is named as wife of Elijah L. YOCUM in the 1887 book with biographies of people from Columbia County -- online at: http:/freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~jowest/ResearchCCBios14.htm
1880 census Locust Tp, Columbia Co, PA, on 25 June [Series: T9 Roll: 1118 Page: 248 House #218, family #229] shows Sarah J. YOCUM, age 24, wife, working as a servant (?), married to Elijah L. YOCUM, 20 (?), son of householder, laborer. Also there is [Brinton McClellan ‘Clell’] JOHNSON, age 16 [b. 1863], unreadable relationship, laborer [Clell was brother of David Klees’s g-gmother].
1890 census was burned.
1900 census on 5 June in Carbon Co, 1-Ward in Lehighton, PA, house #95, family #100 on the Heights on 1st Street [Series: T623 Roll: 1390 Page: 18] shows Sarah YOCUM as a boarder age 43, b. June 1856, m. 20 years, 1 child born & living. She is at home of Orlando BARNHART, blacksmith age 53, b. Oct 1846, m. 31 years to Sarah Jane’s sister Mary age 49, b. Dec 1850, had 5 children, 2 living. Dau Jennie BARNHART is 20, b. 1879, single. Also there is Sarah’s son William YOCUM, ‘nephew’ to the householder, age 19, b. 1881, railroad laborer.
There is another BARNHART connection: A Sarah L. BARNHART b. 1850 in Jersey Shore in Lycoming Co. m. Daniel 'Tobias' YOST b. 1847 in Catawissa Tp., brother of Sarah Jane and Mary. Sarah L. is apparently Orlando’s sister -- her father Andrew BARNHART b. 1815 was a blacksmith and had a wife Mary BETTERLY; they moved to Hazleton by 1880 (census).
1910 census [16th Apr, Lehighton Boro’s 2nd Ward, on S. 4th St., house #5, family #7, p. # unreadable], Sarah J. YOCUM, sister in law, age 51, m. 31 years [suggests her husband isn’t dead -- where is he?], 1 child, 1 child living, working as a tailoress in a men’s clothing store, is living still with Orlando BARNHARD, 63, a blacksmith in the railroad car shops, and his wife Mary P. (Sarah’s sister), who is 58, has been married 40 years, had 5 children, 2 living.
Haven’t found her in the 1920 or 1930 census but Janet Ramage Binkley remembers her mother talking of Aunt Jane in the 1930s.
