  Biography	Connection of Jane Dart to Sarah Jane Amsdell: The only record of Jane Dart is her birth given by Bolt in "Genealogy of The Dart Family in America" and her father died in Hamburg, New York. Many of the family members lived in Hamburg. The 1950 census lists Sarah J Amsdell in Hamburg with the same age as Jane Dart. The family moved to Townsend, Ohio where Sarah died. She was usually listed as Sarah J Amsdell but on her grave stone she was Sarah Jane Amsdell. Sarah Bradley Ayer Black was the last surviving child of James and Sara Bradley Ayer and Sarah Black had no children. According to a notice in the local paper her will named 23 people. 22 of them were known nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. The last was Jane Amsdell of Townsend, Ohio. There were no Jane Amsdells living in Townsend that I could find, just Sarah Jane. Jane Dart was Sarah Black's niece.

  	Obituary: Norwalk Evening Herald May 15, 1905 Mrs. Sarah Amsdell was called from her earthly home Sunday morning, her death occurring at the family residence No. 51 Milan Street. Mrs. Amsdell had been ill but 4 days and death was due to old age. The deceased saw born in Hamburg, New York in 1820 and came to Ohio in 1861. She was the wife of Philander Amsdell who preceded her to the grave several years ago. Mrs. Amsdell has been a resident of Norwalk for the past 9 years during which time she had drawn around her a large circle of friends who learned to love her for her true womanly traits of character. Mrs. Amsdell is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J. M. Chaffee of this city and 2 sisters, Mrs. Julia Platt of Buffalo New York, mother of Rev. Ward Platt and Mrs. Carrie Hunt of Iowa.

Mrs. Amsdell dearly loved her 2 great grandchildren, the 2 children of Mr. and Mrs Fred Cole and she often said that her comfort in life was loving these little ones. During her illness the 2 little ones came to her bedside and taking her hands in theirs begged their grandman to "wake up and talk to them". Mrs. Amsdell was a true Christian in every respect. She joined the Methodist Church when she was quite young and found much comfort and joy in her religion. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. H. S.
