Sadie’s obituary was published in the lower left corner of the front page of the May 29, 1925 edition of the Clearwater Tribune. There are at least two errors. She was born in 1896, not 1897. Her age was 28 years, 9 months and 15 days, rather than 28 years, 3 months and 15 days. The text below is without any corrections.
