Sarah Josephine Maddox
1873 ~ 1948

    Sarah Josephine Maddox was born 1873, soon after her parents arrived in Hamilton Co., IL.  She was in the 1880 census, age 7.

     While there she met James Glover, and probably even went to school with him.  When she was 19 years old, she married him in 1892 over in Mount Vernon, Jefferson Co., IL, nearby.  He was born in Hamilton County so I don't know why they went over to another county to marry unless there was a relative there with a larger or nicer house.  Most people didn't marry in churches yet.  Or perhaps he built her a house there and they wanted to get married in it.  They did end up staying in Jefferson County and their children were born there.  However, Sarah remained close to her mother in Hamilton Co.

     Bowman was b.c. 1893, Cora Ina in 1894,but she only lived two years.  Her twin was Nora Inez.  Richard Bland was born in 1897, George Dewer in 1899, Mildred Genevia c. 1900, Mary Hester c. 1902, Lois Ester in 1906, and Harold Lee in 1912.  She had nine children in all.

     She died April 16, 1948 in Waterman, DeKalb Co., IL.  She never lived very far away from where she was born.
