Sarah Julia Buttler was the seventh child in a family of eight children; four boys and four girls. In 1871 she moved with her family to Guthrie Co., locating in the neighborhood of Panora, IA. In 1872, when she was six yearsold, they moved to a farm in Section 9 of Victory township in Guthrie Co. Their farm was across the road north and a little west of the Fansler Counrty Store. Here she grew to womanhood.
After marrying William Henry Scott, the couple settled on a farm just a short distance west of Sarah’s parents’ farm; it was on the same road and just across the Raccoon River and on the south side of the road.
Our grandmother (Sarah) always remembered all her children, their spouses and grandchildren at Christmas time with gifts. The ladies and girls were usually given material for a dress, and the men and boys were usually given a pair of overalls or a shirt.
When a group of her grandchildren were out playing, Sarah would often come out with some treats in her caught-up apron skirt. “When we came in on a cold day and our hands were icy cold, she would warm her hands on the reservoir of the kitchen range and then warm our hands with hers.”
When Sarah was no longer able to do a lot of active work, she pieced and appliqued many quilt tops and gave one to each of her children and grandchildren.139
