Nellie Sagers' timeline

Date: 8 Jan 1888 [unknown]
Location: Rochester, Monroe, New York, United States
Surnames/tags: Sagers Allen

This is a timeline that I put together for Helen "Nellie" Sagers. I was sent her marriage record that lists Corinne Townson and there was a website that transcribed a family bible that also listed her marriage under the name Corinne Townson. Grant Allen was married to one person, not two.

Nellie Sagers (Helen?)

This is what I know:

bio father is Asa Sagers b. 8 Feb 1858 Tooele, Utah d. 23 Jun 1932 Burley, Idaho

bio mother is Eliza Ellen Devitt b. 1 Jan 1863 d. 1 Nov 1952 San Francisco, CA

Her surname is transcribed as Devieth or Deriett on some of the sources attached to her on FS

Nellie Sagers b. 8 Jan 1888 Pumpkin Creek, Montana d. 5 Jan 1981 Rochester, NY https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LJYH-2JK listed as Helen Sagers not Nellie Sagers
