She was raised in the Wright residence on the southeast corner of Granville Road and Morning Street, now known as Sharon Memorial Hall. On October 5th, 1897, Sarah Wright married Worthington C. Lewis in a ceremony at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Shortly after their marriage, Sarah became a member of the Worthington Methodist Church, where she was a very active member over the course of her life.

He received his education in Worthington, attending Worthington Medical College, and was a graduate of Chase Normal School. He served as the Mayor of Worthington from 1902 to 1905, also served on the Worthington Village Council, as the president of the Water Board, and as Justice of the Peace.
