The Sarah that died in Springhill was wife of Frank Demark, and they married in 1903, also at Springhill. They had a daughter, Annie, who married a Mr. O'Hara, I seem to recall. This is likely NOT the right family, as Frank Demark (Demarko) was born in Italy, and Sarah (his wife) was born in New Brunswick. Also, since they married 1903, hard to figure a child b. 1890.

There is more than meets the eye with the Demark family. Frank Demark marries Sarah Jane Madix in 1903. But Sarah's death record gives her parents as John and Sarah Merry Her 1903 marriage record says that she was a widow. There is a marriage of an Elmira Madix in 1904, which lists her parents as Abram and Sarah Jane Madix. This may be a daughter by the first husband. The 1911 census lists Frank and Sarah in Srpinghill. But it lists daughters, Frances and Rosie, both born before 1903. But on their marriage documents their parents are listed as Frank and Sarah. A later marrige for Annie Demark, lists the same parents. Annie marries Frank O'Hara, and it is Mrs. Annie O'Hara who is the informant on her father's death record. In the records they are listed under Demark, Demarks and Demarko. The question then becomes, are the children, Sarah's by her first husband, and they adopted their stepfather's surname, or was Frank married to a Sarah before his marriage to Sarah Jane. His marriage in 1903 says he is a bachelor. The name Madix appears to be unique, and thus suspected to be a misspelling. The Madix people are also indicated to be from New Brunswick, while The Demark girls seem to be born in Springhill. This again indicates that Frank was married before. Interesting.
