Summary
Sarah Gibson Gallagher was the youngest child named in the account of William Gibson and Rose Ann Gibson. The source connects a handwritten family record’s uncertain “Sadie” to Sarah Gibson, born 4 September 1885, and says she later married Owen D. Gallagher.
Evidence and limits
The source combines a Beaver Island Historical Society family record, census research, and an obituary. It does not reproduce those underlying records, so the name equivalence and exact dates remain source-bounded rather than fully independently verified here.
Open questions
- Which aunt and uncle housed Sarah in Emmet County in 1900?
- What were the names of Sarah and Owen’s five children?
- Where is Sarah buried, and what obituary supplies the 1967 death account?
