William C Hurst, married on December 20, 1853 in Ellis County, Texas
Sarah Bilbrey married a Mr. Edwards after William C. Hurst died in 1863 of typhoid during the Civil War. On the 1870 census, Sarah Edwards lists no husband but she lists her four children (Elizabeth, William "Thomas," Anne, and David Columbus) and she also lists a 3 year old named A. Hurst. That is a mistake in the last name. In the 1880 census when Sarah is married to Levi M. Bowers, it lists Levi's stepdaughter as Arazona Edwards, age 13. Therefore, A. Hurst age 3 in 1870 is really Arazona Edwards. Her name could actually be Arizona but I have only seen the spelling of Arazona.
Sarah married Levi M. Bowers by at least 1880. Sometimes her last name is spelled Billberry. Her death certificate has Sarah Bowers.
Headstone purchased and installed (on 10/17/2020) by Paul and Dottie (Doyen) Ridenour. We do not know exactly where she was buried but we put her headstone near her grandson Robert Hurst.
