Sarah Ann (Perry) Foster died 5 Feb. 1917 in Belmont Co. Ohio, U.S.A. of pneumonia. She is buried in Bellaire, Belmont Co., Ohio. I've tried finding cemetery records for Bellaire and surrounding cemeteries in that area but have no luck finding anything. It's also very possible she does not have a tombstone. The certificate has the wrong year of birth, 1854 instead of 1853 and also has her mother's maiden name as Hadcock instead of Adcock but her father is Charles, and the person giving the information is Jabez Foster.
