- Material on Sarah Eleanor comes from the journal of Sarah's son Sylvanus and was included in the Nellis family genealogy (Nellis-Nellis: Immigrants from the Palatinate 1710, Vol. 1, p 779, 1975). Sarah was not included in the 1974 Getman Family Genealogy, 1710-1974 (1975) nor the 1982 Supplement to the Getman Family Genealogy.
Sarah Eleanor was listed as born 21 Sep 1836 in Johnstown, Fulton Co., NY. Her mother, Nancy, lived in Oppenheim, and Sarah was probably born in her parents' home in Oppenheim. The St. Johnsville Reformed Church where the marriage of Christian and Nancy was recorded was in the southern part of Oppenheim, Montgomery County, which became St. Johnsville in 1838 when Fulton County was formed from Montgomery County. The northern part of Oppenheim where Sarah Eleanor's parents probably lived became part of Fulton County, and St. Johnsville was formed from what was the southern part of Oppenheim remaining in Montgomery County. Fulton County did not exist until 1838, and there is no other evidence for Sarah Eleanor's family to have been in Johnstown (about 25 miles east of Oppenheim) at that time. It is suggested that "Johnstown" was written for St. Johnsville, possibly influenced by records in what later was known as the St. Johnsville Reformed Church, although such name was not used until later.

Mr. Getman entered the army in 1862, being commissioned 1st lieutenant, Company F, 10th N. Y. Artillery, serving in this capacity until promoted a; captain of Co. A, 10th Artillery. He acted as provost-marshal after the capture of Petersburgh, and was one of the officers of the 10th daring its existence, highly esteemed by officers and all connected with the regiment He served during three years, retiring with honors to himself and feeling conscious of having faithfully discharged his duty and conferring a blessing upon his country.His record was glorious, rebellion was slain;
The fruit of his toils bright honors remain;
He shrank not from duty but carried the strife;
Counting freedom and right more sacred than life.He will be missed, not only in his family, but in his business relations. Unfaltering integrity characterized his acts, and he was regarded as possessing a judgment none hesitated to rely upon. He was a kind husband and father, and leaves an affectionate wife and three sons, who, having been guided for many years by his counsels, we trust will be able to successfully combat with the stern realities of life. Though a dark pall has been spread over earthly home and prospects, yet the sympathy of the entire community is heartily sundered to the bereaved family.
