I found a birth record for Emma at the West Virginia Archives online, but not for Sarah, and I only found the 1900 United States Federal Census for Sarah F, when she was living with her grandparents, Ira and Sarah Frances Warden Hurt. Either Sarah's birth year was listed incorrectly on the census, which is common or Emma's birth was registered under the name Emma, and was later changed to Sarah F, which is also a common occurrence. I have found no other records for either one of them.
