WHOOPS - I think I've made a major booboo except that there are TWO obits in June 1919 but she'd be 105 years old and I'd think that would make a big deal there. Hmmmm - the other Sarah Eddingfield obit on this site also indicates Sarah the mother of Oscar - hmmmm. Maybe there are two Oscars - findagrave doesn't show either Sarah - hmmmm ??? HELP
