Hello Phil and List, In my records, it seems that Sarah Jane (Sadie) Carroll must have died and Milton remarried. This information came from a Howerter cousin, Kim Howarter. Notice the difference in the spelling. I have a story written by Ghlee Howerter about how the difference occurred. It is interesting. If you interested in anything more I am willing to share any information that I have. Please find a short outline below. If you want a more extended outline just let me know.

Sadie was my grgrandmother; she had a daughter, Fern Olive Howerter, born January 31, 1905 iin Smithfield, Fulton County. Milton was a farmer. I have not been able to find records of marriage or divorce. Milton was living in Fairbury, NE at time of Fern Filoski's death in 1947 in Peoria, IL.eezly@winco.net >
