Her husband passed away in 1918. As the years passed, she continued to maker her home with her son, Emmet, at least through 1940,[5][6][7] though in 1950 she was living as a boarder with Ethel Feltenberger.[8]
1860 and 1870 censuses show John Shellabarger's wife as Mary A. b. ca. 1834-1835, not Sara.
