Shared note

S.R. Durand: "Sarah Jane Schooley was born in August 1855 in Viroqua, Vernon County, Wisconsin. Her parents with their older children had moved from Hocking County, Ohio to Viroqua in about 1854. Later they moved to a farm near Beloit, Kansas and she was married there on March 24, 1872 by Reverend Fletcher to Edward Abbott. They lived for a few years in Kansas, where their eldest daughter, Ada, was born. Before 1880 they were living in Brant, Wisconsin where their son Lee and their second daughter Fern were born. Later, they lived in Lodi, Wisconsin. She died in Los Angeles in 1919."

 Sarah Jane Schooley separated from her husband, Rev Edward A. Abbott in about 1890.  She went to California, where she became a dedicated relief worker with a women's Christian organization.  From this time on, she always used the public name of "Florence Abbott."She traveled with her relief organization up and down the coast of California, writing letters to her daughters from such places as San Jose, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles, where she eventually settled.  In a few letters, her daughters ask that their regards be conveyed to "Captain Brinckerhoff."  When I found her grave location in a  cemetery plot that she had purchased in Los Angeles, she was buried next to one Abraham Brinckerhoff, who died in 1911.  She lived until 1921.
