I have a copy of Carl's (Cashius) death certif.

Carl and Sarah's stone says 1914 for Carl's death, but someone had
replaced the stone with the wrong date of death on it.

Sarah's name was Aretta. according to Eliza Aretta (Babe) Harper
Cavinee, who was named after Sarah. (Bruce Harper had talked to Babe
before her death and got the info on Sarah Aretta's correct name.)
