Notes for: Sarah Arreally Lawless
She must have known but little happiness in her life. Her father deserted her and her mother as well shortly after her birth. She was a teenager at the time her mother remarried. She had mental health problems and much of her adult life was spent in an institution. From available records, it seems that she alternated between child bearing and nervous breakdowns. The family was destitute from early in the marriage when the family farm was seized and sold in a sheriff's sale because of unpaid debt.
From Ronny Bodine:
Sarah died of chronic gastritis at the North Texas Hospital for the Insane in Terrell. See her Texas death certificate no. 1911-27018.
