Comments: Sarah was a furniture saleslady and then a clerkess. She married John McKnight of Ladywell Road, Motherwell. They owned their own vehicle body repair business in Blantyre before moving to live in Hamilton and then back to Larkhall. They have a son Steven and a daughter Carol (Mrs Steven Ingles). There are three grandchildren. Steven's Lindsay, and Carol's Laura and Sarah. Sadie and Jack presently live in 19a London Street, Larkhall.
Sarah (Sadie) wed John (Jack) Sadie was also prominent in Church circles and became one of the first women elders of the Church of Scotland in St Machan's Church, Larkhall. Earlier, she had worshipped in Larkhall Baptist Church, then was Sunday School Superintendent of Blantyre Congregational Church - illustrating the family's latter-day ecumenism and a far cry from its proud but sectarian past!
