 * - Cheers! The problem I've now got is that sources seem to disagree on her birth and death dates? Do you have any idea which is most likely to be correct? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:47, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * , I searched through Heritage Quest, but I couldn't find her. Maybe will have better luck. She's good at finding these primary sources. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:45, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * My first thought would be to go with what her personal papers say. They are likely to be correct. Clicking on the link to that shows 1892 and another link to Pepperdine University which also gives 1892 and parents as m/m W. T. Andrews. Census search shows William T. and Adele B. with daughter "Sally" a derivative of Sarah born November 1892. . Give me a bit more time on the death. SusunW (talk) 18:33, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Here's a picture of her and on the previous page she states 26 November 1892. SusunW (talk) 18:42, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * , thank you! Historians rule! :D Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:00, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, we only sometimes do. The sources have to be backtracked and in this case, on the death I cannot. I find nada on whether she died on 16 or 17th. Would that the article from Carolina Messenger could be accessed, but it is a dead link and no access via Wayback. I find no obits in newspapers.com or newspaperarchives.com. No death records in FamilySearch. Cannot substantiate which sources were used in the articles given. If a date can be tied to the missionary service, that would be the more reliable date, as surely they knew when their employee stopped being one. By the by the picture was made by the government and thus is PD and published prior to 1923. Sorry I cannot help more. SusunW (talk) 19:02, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
