Sarah Conley 

            When Sarah Conley died (October 1, 1908), the October 8, 1908, issue of The Jewish Era, a tri-annual devoted to mission work among the Jews, described her as “a woman of great liberality.” She was modest and unostentatious, and her charitable gifts were meant to be unnoticed. Paraphrasing Matthew 6:3, Tryphena Cecilia Rounds, the magazine’s editor said Sarah was “one [of] the few who did not let their right hand knew [sic. Rounds meant know] what the left hand had done.”  Sarah continued to support missionaries; feeling that they all did some good, she ignored doctrine supplying needs to many, sometimes in the form of clothing. She provided the money that allowed T. C. Rounds’ mission to the Jews to purchase property for a ‘reading room.’ And she donated to Rounds on a personal level. “In various ways,” Rounds wrote, “like Phebe of old, she has ‘been a succourer of many’ and the writer might add ‘and of myself also.’”

            In September 1889 Sarah founded “Beulah Home,” a large structure at 136 Sheridan Avenue in Bellevue, Pennsylvania. She called Oliver S. Schultz and his wife Caroline [Sometimes spelled Carolina] to manage it. O. S. Schultz [born c. 1851] was an associate of A. B. Simpson, serving as treasurer of Simpson’s Berachah Orphanage in New York City.  It was a home for women, providing respite and refuge for what was then called ‘the worthy poor.’ The 1910 Federal Census lists the Schultz’s, a servant, and fifteen female residents aged between six months and seventy-four years.
