Sarah was born in Pennsylvania and died in New Castle. Sarah's son Harrison, known as Henry because his father was also named Harrison, moved to a ranch at the top of Main Elk Creek along with his mother Sarah and his sister Lucy Hale sometime prior to 1900.
The records have little information about Sarah other than her husband was Harrison Sr. and she had three children, Harrison Jr., Lucy and Sarah, known as Sally. Census data indicates Harrison lived in Leadville in 1890 as did his sister Lucy Hale who was a school teacher. Lucy was noted as a widow in the 1900 census while living with her mother Sarah and brother Harrison on Main Elk Creek. Harrison, "Henry" was listed as single in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census and it appears he was never married. There is no headstone for Harrison Clinetop.
Growing up I was very familiar with the Cline Top road on Main Elk Creek leading up to Cline Top Mesa and the Flattops but was unaware where the name came from until I came across this information.
