"Dear Sallie: May peace and love along thy way/ In glowing radiance shine/ May goodness, gentleness and truth/ Around thee brightly twine.
Your true friend, Emma L. Hottel
Sharp's Mill [Harrison County], Indiana
21 March 1882
[Emma Lenora HOTTEL, b. 1855 is the aunt of Lillian "Lillie" Mae HOTTEL, b. 1866. Their common ancestor is Peter HOTTEL. Lillie Mae marries Sallie and Evie's brother, Samuel Addison Roberts.]

Sallie marries Richard Devenish on 14 May 1890. She is 38 years old. In 1900, Sallie's 72-year-old widowed mother, Mary Jane Hancock Roberts, is living with them in Fredericksburg, Posey Township, Washington County, Indiana.

In 1910, Sallie and Richard are still in Posey Township -- just the two of them.
