Wife of James M. Drake.∼Sarah Ann "Sallie" (McCleary or Race) Drake was born Jan. 11, 1833 in Pennsylvania. She was married to James Montgomery Drake. They had one daughter, Sarah A Sallie born around the time of Sarah's death, poss. husband Millard Filmore Kepler. This Sarah was either the daughter of Anthony Race and unknown mother, or, Barbara Swartz and Michael McCleary. Most likely CLEARY, as Barbara married Anthony Drake in 1839, after Sarah's birth. Her daughter is living with that family after her death (the child's grandparents possibly?).

Daughter Sarah "Sallie" Drake Kepler's death date or burial place has not been found. After James Montgomery Drake died, his 2nd wife Elizabeth left a Last Will, and left "his" daughter (not hers) Sallie Drake $10.
It is possible she was the wife of Millard Filmore Kepler, but she's listed as widowed by the 1880 census. There was also a Sallie A that was then married to Clarence Maxwell, and she died in 1882 at 30 years of age, born abt the same time as this Sarah...another possibility for her after the death of Millard Kepler?

Good-bye, my wife, "tis now we part,
Yet sweet the moments fled,
And now it nearly breaks my heart
As thus good-bye is said.
Good-bye, my wife, you leave me now,
With all the pangs of Death;
Delung to thee, thou knowest well,
As life to its own breath.
Good-bye, my wife, thy image clear,
I'll take where er I go;
Thy constant faith and friendship dear
I shall forever know.
I'll always keep thee near my heart,
As here and there I roam;
Thy Angel presence will cheer my way,
And lead me back to home.
Good-bye my wife, we'll meet again,
This parting hour will fly;
And joy will come to conquer pain,
And I'll most ? in the sweet by and bye.
