Name: Sarah Glasgow; Gender: Female; Ethnicity/ Nationality: Irish; Marital status: Single; Age: 23; Birth Date: abt 1882; Last Known Residence: Tyrone; Departure Port: Londonderry; Arrival Date: 13 Nov 1905; Arrival Port: New York, New York, USA; Final Destination: Phila, Pennsylvania; Money in Possession: 15; Person in US: Mrs Percy; Person in US Relationship: Sister; Sibling: Percy; Ship Name: Caledonia.

They had returned to the Cookstown area by 1911. This may have been due to her sister Rachel who was also in America becoming very ill.
Research Notes
We are confident that this is the right Sarah Jane who married W. J. Cahoon because at the obituary of her sister Rachael, W. J. Cahoon is listed as a brother-in-law. 
Birth date
The birth registration said 1 July 1883 and the birth was registered on 31 July 1883. This is immediately suspicious, as there was a financial penalty for registering a child later than 30 days, so it was common for parents to lie about the birth date.

In fact the registration was cancelled, and there's a handwritten note I can't read clearly but perhaps the registrar also wisened up to the false date.

The marriage record gives 15 May as birth date, albeit the year 1882.
Sister Johanna
Also, not sure who the sister Johanna is on the passenger log -- apparently given as age 20. Maybe it is Jane with an incorrect age.
Burial
A profile has been created in her name at Cookstown Cemetery, with 1962 as death year; but she is not found using the cemetery search website. Perhaps that profile is incorrect. Her husband is buried at Clare Churchyard.
Children
Her husband's obituary lists Mrs. Allen as a daughter. No Ireland birth registrations found to this couple. Perhaps Margaret was born in America.
