  • Notes 
    • When Sarah E.W. Leitner was packing to migrate to Florida with her parents she was told to take only the absolute essentials. 8 year old Sarah begged so hard to bring a little rose bush (everblooming Louis Phillippe) that she was allowed to "carry it all the way on my lap". As long as Sarah lived she had a bush of this rose (also known as the Carolina Rambler) in her yard. She rooted hers under an over-turned Mason fruit jar. --told to C. Patrick Priest.

      Sarah E.W. Leitner Griner Priest demonstrated the Leitner determination when the nineteenth amendment went into effect Aug.18, 1920. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Aged 73 at this time Sarah went to the polls at the first opportunity and consulted with no one as to the most desirable candidates. (Told by her son Clarence C. Priest as he neared his 95th birthday. That same day Papa recalled that his grandpa, Jacob Leitner, Jr. ((1807-1884)) would become so wrought-up when he prayed at family prayer time, he could be heard a quarter mile away. Fan Priest Kipp)
