Sarah was the daughter of Andrew Aaron Warner and his first-wife Charlotte Henry, who married on 31 Jul 1856 in Marshall Co., Indiana. I found ten, possibly eleven, children for them—Sarah, Hiram, Henry, David, Emeline, John, (poss.) Oliver, Aaron, Andrew, William, and Samuel.
I found Andrew, 30, and Charlotte, 20, on the 1860 Census, living in Green, Summit, Ohio. Sarah, 3, and Hiram,1, were with them and Andrew was working as a carpenter.
By the 1870 Census, the family was living in Green (today the Argos area), Marshall Co., Indiana, where Andrew, 41, was farming. Charlotte (Sharlott on the record), 32, had her hands full at home tending to the needs of five children—Sarah, 13; Hiram, 11; David, 7; Emeline, 7; and Aaron, 1.
They were still living in the Argos area in 1880. Andrew, 50, was still farming. Charlotte, 42, was keeping house. There with their parents were Sarah, 23; Hiram, 21; David, 17; Emeline, 15; Aaron, 10; Andrew, 9; and William, 6.
Sadly, Charlotte died three years later on 14 Jun 1883 at age 45. Son Samuel was only a year and a half old at the time.
She would miss seeing daughter Sarah marry Lewis Abair on 9 Mar 1884 in Green Twp., Marshall Co., Indiana.
A year after her own nuptials, Sarah's father Andrew remarried, wedding none other than Sarah's sister-in-law Mary Margaret Abair. Andrew was 55, Mary Margaret was 31. They ended up having two children who would have been both niece and nephew and half-sister and half-brother to Sarah and Lewis' father-in-law was then also his brother-in-law. The situation likely made for some fun introductions.
Sarah and Lewis raised four children together and lost two children together. Son Marion Elno (also found Elmer) was born on 10 Jan 1880, four years before Lewis and Sarah's nuptials. If he were Sarah's son, it seems likely he would have appeared with her on the 1880 Census, which wasn't taken until 17 June, and Marion clearly wasn't with Lewis and the Bucklew family in 1880. In both 1900 and 1910, Sarah reported having had six children, which would have included Marion in the count, so where was Marion in 1880? Ahhh…the mysteries.
Four months after Sarah and Lewis married, Sarah gave birth to an infant daughter in July of 1884, who died soon after, never named. So sad. It is hoped that the arrival of son Peter Ora a little over a year later on 14 Sep 1885 would bring a measure of joy back to the family. Marion and Peter would be joined by three sisters—Mary Etta on 18 Mar 1888, and Augusta F. on 17 Sep 1891 and Sadie R. in 1897.
The now-lost 1890 Census would have given us our first look at the family. Unfortunately, there is no joy there.
Sadly, in mid-October, 1897, the family lost daughter and sister Sadie. (From: The Argos Reflector – 14 Oct 1897 p. 5) "A child of a Mr. Abair, in Green Township, was buried yesterday."
The 1900 Census placed the Abairs in Green Twp., Marshall Co., Indiana. Lewis A'Bair (A-Boeore on the record), 40, was noted as a farmer. Sarah, 40, reported that only four of her six children had survived to that census, a sad reminder or the loss of their infant daughter in 1884 and daughter Sadie in 1897. There with their parents were Marion, 20; Peter, 14; Etta, 12; and Augusta, 8.
A dark cloud appeared in 1907, Lewis contracting tuberculosis. Effective treatments were still far off on the medical horizon. Lewis would have been afflicted by fatigue, night sweats, and a general wasting away. TB is also marked by a persistent coughing-up of thick white phlegm, sometimes blood.
At that time, there was no reliable treatment for tuberculosis. Some physicians prescribed bleedings and purgings, but most often, doctors simply advised their patients to rest, eat well, and exercise outdoors. Sanitoriums offered various treatments, but very few recovered. Lewis was not one of those very few, succumbing to the illness on 7 Jul 1907 at age 47.
Sarah, widowed, aged 51, appeared without her helpmate and companion on the 1910 Census, still living in the Argos area, noted as a farm manager. She again reported that four of her six children were living. As it happens, all four will still there with her—Marion, 29; Peter, 24, both helping with the farm; Etta, 22; and Augusta, 18, noted sweetly as a "dairy maid," which suggests the farm was a dairy farm or that at least there were cows on the farm.
Five years later, Sarah also died, passing on 19 Dec 1915 at age 56.
