In the 1870 census [Chili Twp, Hancock Co., IL) a women (age 64), Holden, ..ippena, is listed as "at her daughters"
This might be Sarah's mother (who possibly had been widowed and remarried) or she might be the mother of another women listed in the household, Caroline Covert, age 33 (listed with 2 children - Alex 7, and Mattie 2).
