Having no recollection of, or even her grandchildren seeing or knowing of her, with only hearsay information, it is quite difficult to piece together small pieces of information from her children, now dead, passed down from generation to generation.
Sarah Jane Fishburn was bom 19 Oct. 1835, in St. Noets, Huntingtonshire, England. Her Father Francis Fishburn was born 29 Feb. 1808 in Darlington, Durham, England, son of Robert Fishburn and Jane Leeming. Her mother, Eliza Jeffs, was born 25 Aug. 1813, in St. Ives, Huntington, England, a daughter of Samuel Jeffs and Sarah Rolls.
Times were hard and a bit of Old England was quite different to our ways today. Coal and coke were carried around in a small donkey cart in sacks of about 100 Ibs. and sold at the door. Milk was delivered on foot. The man would have a yoke with two milk cans, one for new milk, the other for skim milk. The cans had covers, and with a measuring tin with a hooked handle to hang on the opening, he would measure out the amount wanted. It was a pint measure for which he charged 1 penny. Other commodities were carried around similarly, such as fresh fish, vegetables, etc. The vendors calling the names of their wares, so the housekeepers could generally get their daily supplies in this manner. At night the baked potato man would come around the town with an oven on a hand cart, and one or more could be bought at a rate of about 2 cents per potato. Sometimes he carried meat pies. Bread was also delivered this way or you could go to the bakers. Some had muffins and crumpets and would cry out their wares, and some would hang a bell to let his patrons know he was around. Sixpence would probably buy 1/2 sack of coal or two loaves of bread. (A shilling was about 24 cents and 6 pence about 12 cents.)
Sarah's father was, by trade a tobacco pipe maker. On account of not being able to find employment at his trade in St. Ives or even anywhere in that vicinity of the country and knowing that there were a number of pipe manufacturers in Leeds, Yorkshire, he moved there in 1835 or 1836, with the view of obtaining employment. In the midst of poverty, he struggled along as best he could for several years, getting work when it could be had, scarcely being able to obtain the necessities of life for his then little growing family. In the early part of the year of 1843, he started, in a small way, in business for himself, using his wife and children when possible.
With hard times and poverty abounding for many English families at this time, this was probably what contributed to one of Sarah's attributes — that of being a very thrifty person. It was said that she made something out of almost nothing and made everything count, no matter how small or large it was.
When she was young, she was sent to a cooking school and learned how to make many tasty dishes and how to make things to go a long way, such as the many pieces of low-grade meat, as oxtail, etc., making them taste much better by the way they were prepared and cooked.
There is a humorous story told about one time later on in her life concerning making some apple "rolly-pollies" when someone else was making them for her. The person rolled out the dough and then started to peel the apples. As she cut them up to put them on the dough; several pieces of apple fell off, so she ate them. Then quite a few more pieces fell out and were eaten as she rolled it up and put them in a bag to be steamed. When they were cooked and served, only a few pieces of apple were found in them. In her fine English accent Sarah said, "Man t'apples, t'apples, where's t'apples?" "Oh, they fell out, so I ate them."
When she was 21 years of age, on 16 Sept. 1856, she married Francis Scholes in Wortley, Yorkshire, England. It has been said they had been introduced to the Gospel; I know not whether it was before their marriage or shortly after, but they had not joined the Latter-day Saint Church. [Robert Leeming Fishbum was a handcart pioneer, so obviously there was contact at the time he joined, whether or not there were meetings with the missionaries by others in his family is not known.](1) Francis was from Leeds, Yorkshire, England. His occupation was also a tobacco clay pipe manufacturer, and it was said that Sarah accompanied him many times to sell his wares.
They also had a garden of fair size which was about a mile away from their home. (Sarah Goff and Pheobe Beazer, daughters of Walter Scholes said their father remembered taking buckets of household waste products to this garden, and that it was "on top of a garage or other building.)(2)
To this union was born their first child on 26 Dec. 1857, a son Thomas, but disaster was soon to strike, Thomas died on 9 Jan. 1859 at the age of 1. Again much sadness prevailed, for their second child, Joseph was born and died in 1860. Three years later on 18 June 1863, a strong baby girl, Ann, was born to them. She would live to be the ripe old age of 84. Three years later, less four months, another son, Arthur, was born on 12 Feb. 1866. He would live 80 long years. On 22 July 1868 another son Walter was born. He would live to be 87, three years longer than Ann. After Walter retired from farming he worked up until he became head gardener at the Logan temple grounds.(5)
Sarah and Francis lived a short distance from Sarah's mother and father and one of the chores of the children, besides working in the garden, was to take all the table scraps, etc. to their grandparent's pigs. On 29 July 1870 Frederick was born, their sixth child who lived 77 fully fruitful years and worked many years as the Recorder at the Logan Temple.(6)
Frederick did not walk until he was nearly 3 years of age. He just sort hitched along, sitting down. He recalled in later years he had followed his mother to the neighbors and when he came to a mud puddle rather than crawl through it he just got up and walked. In his life sketch in "The Golden Book," Frederick indicated he was a delicate child, not expected to live at first, then in fragile health. All his life he suffered greatly with migraine headaches, which he said "decreased upon coming to Zion" — (Abbie Godfrey, & also The Golden Book, 1943.) Frederick married Lydia Abilona "Abbie" Burnham, June 28, 1893 in the Salt Lake Temple. They became parents of 11 children: (1) Frederick Burnham Scholes, b. 3 Dec. 1894 - d 10 Sept. 1897; (2) Lucile, b. 14 May, 1897, md. Wallace A. F. Loughney 28 Jan. 1926. She died 29 Sept. 1937. He died 16 Jan. 1938. They had 4 children; (3) Elinor Scholes, b. 20 Feb. 1899. md., Frankland James Kennard, 9 Aug. 1922. She died 20 Aug. 1931. They had 3 children. He then md. Gladys Bischoff, June 1933 - had 10 more children; (4) Standley Fishburn Scholes, b. 6 July 1901, md. Allie Thatcher, 23 Nov. 1927. They had 3 children; (5) Sarah Jane Scholes, b. 10 June 1903, md. Melvin E. Schvaneveldt, 12 Mar. 1924, parents of 5 children; (6) Wallace Burnham Scholes, b. 13 Apr. 1905, md. Rozanna Lee, 5 June 1928, 3 children; (7) Abbie Scholes, b. 8 July 1907. md. H. Elbert Godfrey, 19 June, 1929, 7 children; (8) Francis Newton Scholes, b. 26 Nov. 1909. md. Wanda Mathews, 18 Oct. 1935, 4 children. (9) J. Frederick Scholes, b. 20 Aug. 1911, md. Laurel Aagard, 1 Aug. 1935, 8 children. She died 11 Aug. 1986. [he then md. Mary Ireta James 4 Mar. 1989]; (10) Edward Burnham Scholes, b. 30 Mar. 1913, md. Laurel Oakes, 13 June 1938. 5 children; (11) Harold Burnham Scholes, b. 29 Aug. 1914, md. Orale Waymen 17 Sept. 1935, He died Sept. 1970. 4 children [she then md. Homer Carver 1 Sept. 1978].
Two years later, 4 May 1872, Francis Jr. was born, and he was to live just 55 years, the shortest time of all the Scholes' children except for the first two sons.(7)
Sarah did a lot of sewing, and all had to be done by hand. She made many quilts, and in those days they never had all the bright colors, etc. as we have now. There is still a quilt top in existence of octagon shaped blocks, browns, tans and lavender. She must have liked lavender, because there was more of that color used than any other. She was always busy in one way or the other and any spare time was taken up knitting, whether talking, waiting or even while walking down the street.
Their eighth child was born 4 March 1875, and named after her, Sarah Jane, who lived to be 84, as did Ann.(8) Their ninth and last child was probably named after Francis's only sister Caroline, born on 23 Jan. 1875. Sarah Jane's Caroline was not in too good of health all her life but lived until she reached 72 years of age. (Caroline walked with a limp and became a school teacher. She married late in life, the second wife of Robert Bishchoff, and had one daughter Ruth Bishchoff (Ormond), b. 9 Feb. 1923. They resided in Lovell, Wyoming.)
On the 1 May 1880 Sarah Jane saw her older brother Robert Leeming Fishburn for the first time since he left on 21 March 1857 (23 years and 2 months) to be with the Saints in Zion. He had returned to England as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, whose headquarters was now in Salt Lake City, Utah. He had married Eliza Priscilla Noble (and also Laura Matilda Noble). You can visualize the happy reunion of brother and sister long into the night [he stayed there that night and many more to come.]
By this time Sarah and Francis were more receptive to the Gospel, and within 29 days they were baptized at the Bathhouse on Cookbridge Street 29 May 1880. Robert baptized Francis, his brother-in-law, his sister Sarah Jane, niece Ann and nephew Arthur and assisted in confirming them into the Church. Other children were baptized later. [Robert Leeming Fishburn wrote of this time that he was very ill all the time he was in England and finally returned home after only 5 months. What a treasure he gave the Scholes' family for his faithfulness despite his poor health. The Brigham City, Utah cemetery has 5 graves of his children who died around this same time, so great sacrifices were made for the Gospel](9)
There was a feeling of wanting to gather with the Saints, an almost impossible task for a family of nine. In May, Sarah's fifth child, Walter, had passed the 5th Standard in the Leeds Parish Church National School and had received a scholarship. He could use it to go on to school or have the money to do as he wished. She felt that the scholarship money should be used to help pay his passage to America, thinking that if one member of the family was over there, it would be an incentive for the rest of the family to work and save so they could migrate to America. [Walter's prize was a book and 25£, enough to pay his passage](10)
On 3 Sept. 1880 Sarah's brother Robert was returning to America and took Walter with him, at the age of 12. They sailed on the Steamship Nevada. He lived with his Uncle Robert in Brigham City for a year and a half before his family came to Brigham on 1 May 1882. It was said that Sarah Jane grieved much during this time, half-wondering whether she would see Walter again.
But the Lord moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform. Everything fell into place, and it was not long until, on 12 April 1882, she and her husband and their six children (and niece, Maria Fishbum) sailed for America on the S. S. Nevada. Taking about 8 1/2 days by rail, they reached Ogden.(11) When reaching Ogden, baggage, etc., was unloaded on the platform, but Uncle Robert did not arrive for several hours to pick them up with horse and wagon. Sarah sat all that time out on the baggage in the sun, guarding it and got quite a sunburn on her face which she joked about for a long time after. So they reached Uncle Robert's place on 1 May 1882 and were reunited with Walter less than 19 months from when they had bid him goodbye.
Sarah was also reunited with her mother Eliza Jeffs Fishburn, who had come to Brigham City some years before, around 7 or 8 July 1875. It was spring at its best; the fruit trees were in full bloom; there were flowers and as glorious vegetation as any can be at that time of the year. [Frederick would later write, "We arrived at Grandmother Fishburn's home in Brigham City at night, and when we awoke in the morning and looked out the upstairs window to see the apple trees in bloom we knew we had come to ZION, it was so lovely."](12,13)
The children's ages at the time of their immigration:
Ann, nearly 19
Arthur, 16
(Walter came in 1880, age 12)
Frederick, almost 12
Francis, would turn 10 May 4
Sarah Jane - just turned 6
Caroline, almost 4 1/2
Maria Fishburn, their niece - 8 1/2
They lived in Brigham City for nine months. Work was hard to be had to support a family, so they decided in February of 1883 to move to Salt Lake City to find more regular employment, since that was the only means of sustenance they had.
A house was rented on the East Bench of Salt Lake City, in the First Ward, adjoining the lot that they later purchased and built upon which was the family home for some 18 years. This was located on the corner of 6th South and 11th East Streets.
On the 22 April 1890, Sarah Jane and her son Frederick were waiting on the corner of First South and Main, which was known as Godbe's corner. A run-away horse came down the street, knocking her down. Her injuries were both internal and external and caused a state of unconsciousness which she never over-came, except for a brief period of about an hour.(14,15)
On 4 May 1890 her sweet spirit passed from this mortal state to her loved ones and friends on the other side, leaving her family here, except for her first two children who preceded her. She was laid to rest in the old Salt Lake City Cemetery, 7 May 1890.

(15) Frederick said, "The loss of my dear mother, to me, was irreparable, I had felt that she alone understood me, my impulsiveness, my hopes, my waywardness and irritability, therefore I felt all but friendless. However I obtained much consolation and comfort in the knowledge I had concerning death viewed in the light of revealed Truth — that death is but a step further in the glorious march of progressions "The Golden Book", 1943.
