Sarah COOK

After the death of her husband, Riley Ethington, Sarah Cook Ethington married William Strader.  They were married on 25 Nov 1888 and record of that marriage is found in Vigo County marriage records book 11 number 117.  While this marriage record does not positively identify the bride as Sarah Ethington, late widow of Riley Ethington, the following census record provides proof that they are one and the same:

The family lived in Harrison Twsp, Vigo County Indiana in 1900 and are found on the census there as follows:
