I am sorry, you did find the correct person, I didn't look at the census when I wrote the email, she was listed as Sadie instead of Sarah in the 1900 census. I have the page as 19b. > I tried doing some lookups on this, too. I couldn't even find a Sarah Ray > on the 1900 census living in Decatur on Jackson St. Are my notes wrong? I > did find a Sadie Ray, divorced, from Indiana, living with her brother Albert > (Sexton? Sefton?) From what I could tell they may have lived on Jefferson > St. I didn't take down notes on this entry because I didn't think this was > your Sarah.
