Sarah Bull

(3 Aug 1811 - 24 Aug 1886)

Sarah Bull [L7FH-STC] has two memorials at Find-a-Grave: Memorial number 115744015 and 42421601. The first memorial appears to be the correct one because it shows a tombstone with both her married name and her maiden name, and it is in the same plot at that of her husband, Jasper Humphrey. The second memorial, 42421601, has no photo or plot information. Moreover, the quoted obituary contradicts the notion that this is Sarah Bull. The obituary states her age as 72 (not 93 as claimed in the memorial). Also, Mrs. E. H. Willmarth would be the unnamed wife of a Mr. E. H. Willmarth, not Emily Humphrey, who married a Mr. Thompson. Thus, the two daughters, Emma and Emily, should be linked to memorial 115744015, not 42421601.
Below is the mistaken information at Find-a-Grave 42421601.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Daughter of Thomas Bull. She married Jasper Humphrey 13 Feb. 1835. Jasper and Sarah had at least two daughters: Emma and Emily.
Emily was born 1 Sep 1848. She married Henry W. Thompson (b. 9 May 1837). Their children include Mary S. Thompson (14 Apr 1869) and Emily (1869 in Milwaukee, WI). She later married Mr. Willmarth, pursuant to the obit below.
