First married to John D. Norris, a dentist. Then to James S. Boice, a surgeon. Both husbands had fought in the Civil War.
When Sarah went to apply for her husbands' military pensions, she had to prove that the two husbands were not the "same" person. The military claimed John D. Norris deserted. Witnesses who had fought in the War with either husband came forward to testify that the husbands were indeed separate people.
I got this info when talking to Mr Frichman in the sixties at Savannah, Mo. My dad subsequently set me straight with the correct info. John D. was a Dentist and that was all. I have a letter from a Congressional Representative who personally knew Dr. Boice, recommending him to the US Surgeon general for a position as Assistant Surgeon General. It was Dr. Boice who was an Army Surgeon in the Civil War. Winston Ray Norris,

She had a millinery business in Dexter, Iowa.
On advice from a relative, she moved her family to Georgia for health reasons. She used her savings ($600) to build a house. The house foundation was built from used bricks of General James Longstreet's first house that had burned down.
There are family records to confirm she "dated" General James Longstreet when she lived in Gainesville, GA.
