Sarah A. Lewis (maiden name Thompson) died age 16, married, 25 September 1885. Mother and two of the five children died between 1881 and 1885, the youngest was put out for adoption, and the second-youngest, my great-grandfather Jessie R. Thompson, didn't seem to know much of anything about his parents. I have the mother's maiden name from Jessie's marriage record, but I wonder if anyone actually knew at that point.
Can someone look up the marriage record for Sarah A. Thompson marrying a Lewis in 1885 or maybe 1884?
Are Barry County obituaries available? If so, death dates are:
1. Martha J. (Hekele) Thompson, 18 November 1881
2. Samuel L. Thompson (age 12), 4 March 1884
3. Sarah A. (Thompson) Lewis (age 16), 25 September 1885
If anyone knows anything of this family, I'd appreciate the information! The oldest child, William R. Thompson, is living in Sherman Township, Mason county, Michigan, in 1900, with wife and three children.
The exact details of what I've found are below.
