She was married 3 times. The 2nd marriage was to my great grandfather, Richard Mack Lindsay. They'd moved to Florida in around 1925. After he died in 1943 she remarried hence the obituary having her last name as Browning. I'm not sure who the first marriage was to but she evidently had a daughter named Lola Ellis, according to the obituary I've added to this query. Lola's last name, "Ellis" might also have been her married name. Lola was listed as living in Cairo, Illinois according to the obituary from 1953. If you read the obituary maybe something might sound familiar. I've been trying to find someone who might have a connection to Sarah Ellen Lackey that might know something of the first marriage and possibly more.

Songs - In The Sweet Bye and Bye and Mother Is Not Dead Only Asleep The obituary and death certificate has her being born 10 years later then she actually was. Thanks for any help you can provide!
