On July 14th, 1878 Sarah died in Forney's Creek Township, Swain County, North Carolina. There was also an unnamed infant buried in the family plot next to her so I can only assume she may have died in childbirth.

During the construction of the Fontana Damn project and the land acquisition for the Smoky Mountain National Park in the early 1930's hundreds of families had to be relocated. Along with them their dead as several of the cemeteries would be under water with the flooding of the Fontana Lake.

In 1943 Jacob, his first wife Sarah and 2 of their children were moved to what was then called Monteith Cemetery in Bryson City, Swain County, North Carolina. It has sense been incorporated into Lauada Cemetery.
