The grave is also unmarked. Not sure where it is at in the cemetery. It has been told and handed down through the years that Sadie's parents and family moved from the Mt. Joy area while Sadie was pregnant with her daughter, Jennie Pearl Kennedy who married Argles King. Her parents and other family members moved to Texas going on a Wagon Train that consisted of members of the Cooper, Hunt, Pickart, Christian and Rochelle families from the area. It is said that Sadie was so upset by the move of her family that she grieved herself to death, dying when her daughter, Jennie, was only 4 months old. The Christian family that went on this train did not like Texas and did not stay very long at all. As soon as they made enough money they set out to come back to Lewis County, Tennessee where they remained. Many of the ancestors of that family are still in this area today. (Wayne, I overlooked Sarah Ellen. I am glad Mary Bob informed us that she was buried here in one of the unmarked graves.)
