Sarah Dyer survived her husband, and lived to be a very old woman; she "lost her mind long before her physical strength gave out." When she became restless and unhappy, she would insist that she must "go to see Sarah," one of her daughters. To pacify her, some one would put her into an armchair and drag her through several rooms until she was satisfied; -- she "had been to see Sarah." This byword has been handed down among her descendants to the present day: to wander aimlessly about the house is to "go to see Sarah."
