| Sarah bore 10 children, two of them dying in childhood. In about 1878 Michael and Sara came to Kansas in a covered wagon pulled by an oxen team". (For info on Michael's ancestors, Click here) In Kansas they built and lived in a soddy. For years, children of Garner relatives in Pennsylvania lost track of Michael and his family and had no idea that he had a large family of children and grandchildren. A huge genealogy was kept by descendants of Michael's ggggrandfather that excluded any reference to Michael and Sarah's branch. In 1895 there were 5000 offspring in that genealogy.
