I couldn't find her maiden name and couldn't recall her husband's name. I am the granddaughter of her daughter, Opal (d. 1998) and Opal's husband, Warren Campbell (d. 1982). I couldn't gather what your connection is, or if you were only responding to someone else's query, but I remember this lady very well and have several pictures of her from when I was a kid. I believe she was full-blooded Creek Indian. She was living with Opal in Eureka, MO, for several years before she died, and I visited them quite often. She died right after I turned 7. I can't really offer any further backwards research but I can give you some lateral and forward information from Sarah E. Towell on. And all of this info on John Isaac Towell is good to have as well. I couldn't pin down which John Towell he was. I only found him through looking at Ripley, County Missouri Records of marriages. He is listed on 2/9/1898 to "Emma Hobbs" which is I guess what Sarah went by. Very interesting. Anyway, if you'd like to share info, let me know. Andrea
