Another Langford mystery. Sarah the daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Brewer Langford, married Porter C McDonald. He was the son of Thomas and Martha Perkins McDonald. I am looking for the death dates, burial place and hopefully obits of Sarah and Porter. Sarah was still alive in 1929 but her husband wasnt. She was at one time living with her only surviving child Eva (Dolly) Peterson, wife of Albert Peterson.
any help is appreciated

Hi Lynda,
I haven't found anything on Sarah McDonald in the Gazette Index or ISA. Again, if you could provide some dates that would help define the specific person, it would be helpful. The ISA lists:
ISA - DEATH INDEX 1916-1950
Last Name First Name Middle Name Sex/Race Age Cert # Death
Date County City Date Filed
MCDONALD SARAH N/S UNK 0000329 1938-12-02 MCHENRY - -

Where was she living in 1929? When was she born?
(I'll check on Ancestry for some of these answers, but keep in mind that not everyone has access to the subscription-based genealogy site. More folks may be able to help if they have more vital stats & locations. Thanks)

There is a Sarah McDonald referenced in the Sterling Gazette which I retrieved from NewspaperArchives.com.
REFERENCE:
Sterling Daily Gazette - Thursday, August 7, 1930, Sterling, IL
Mrs. Sarah McDonald and Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Peterson of Walnut were Sterling visitors Wednesday.
STERLING DAILY GAZETTE - Nov. 19, 1929
Mrs. Sarah McDonald and Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Peterson of Walnut visited Mrs. Eliza Wolf Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson will leave for Florida Wednesday.
STERLING DAILY GAZETTE, TUES., Dec. 17, 1929
Normany [sic]-Greenville
Mrs. Eliza Wolf, who submitted to a minor operation at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sarah McDonald in Walnut, is improving as well as can be expected.

Sarah was born around 1847, we believe in Walnut. She was found living with her daughter Eva Peterson beginning in 1920 and she was still in their home in the 1930 census. On the 1920 census she stated she was a widow
