It appears that Sarah was first married to Charlie Sherman, but I have not been able to find a marriage record for them. They had two known children, Lotta and Coy. I have found nothing further on Charlie Sherman.

Addie (Badger) Sherman married John Bokart on September 26, 1895, in Wapello County, Iowa.

In Sarah's obituary and funeral notice, which I have transcribed below, her last name was spelled as Bokhart. I have transcribed the articles as written.
