Sarah Blacker was the daughter of pioneers John and Mary (Duff) Moore, who are buried in the Ten Mile Cemetery. Sarah was first married to Charles McDonald Heard, and is the mother of Charles Harvey, James Mulhiron, John Henry, and Elizabeth Heard. Charles M. Heard, a Pvt. in Captain Cantrill's Company, Tenn. Vol., War of 1812, died and was buried on his farm in Flannigan Township. Sarah Moore Heard, married second to James Allen and two of their children were Joseph and Marium. Mr. Allen died in 1846 and Sarah then married John H. Blacker, a native of Dublin, Ireland. Thus the Sarah Blacker monument. Heard family history states that Sarah (Moore) Blacker was interred in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. (by Ralph S. Harrelson)
