Sarah Plasketts 96th Birthday on Mothers Day
Sarah Plaskett's 95th birthday fell on Mother's Day, 1922 — fitting, for a mother of twelve who outlived the century she was born in.
Sarah Plaskett celebrated her 95th birthday on May 1, 1922, which was Mothers Day - a fitting coincidence for a woman who had raised 12 children. She passed her 96th birthday in 1923 shortly before her death. She had been a devout member of the Smith Methodist Church in Salinas for many years.
