Carol:
I like your suggestion, her obituary shows her marriage as Aug 22, 1880, but that certainly seems too close to be mere coincidence.Unfortunately, her obit. doesn't show any sibs or parents, only children.
I do have a possibility, though.My grandmother, who was 9 at the time of Sarah's death, has a wonderful memory for dates and names.Sarah is not her blood relative, but she still knows much of that family as well.
Thank you for the tip; I'm not familiar w/ Jackson County's website and haven't worked with the LDS info. as yet, but it appears to be an excellent time to learn.I seem to recall that Lawrence County is known as the "mother county" in Arkansas, as several counties were created from Lawrence.Perhaps they were there, and the county name changed?I'm curious as to where you found the marriage listing, as I've come up empty on my computer searches in Arkansas' websites.Thank you for the suggestion.Any information I can get is most appreciated, as Sarah is one of my "missing links" on my family history.Take care.
