Sallie's obituary appears in The Russiaville Observer, Feb. 10, 1916, page 1, col. 4:
Sallie Mary Wright
Sallie Mary Wright was born in Highland county, Ohio, to David and Jane Wright, May 8, 1859. She united with the Methodist church at the age of eighteen. She came with her father to Indiana about thirty years ago, and was married to Al Borders. To this union were born five children, four sons and one daughter, the daughter dying in infancy. Mrs. Borders departed this life, Feburary 2nd, 1916.
=====
Note: The headline and first paragraph of the obituary above call her Sallie Mary Wright, rather than Sallie Mary Borders, yet the story acknowledges that she had been married to Al Borders. In 1900 and 1910, she was in the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane in Marion County. The obit says she came to Indiana with her father about thirty years ago, which would be about 1886, but she was married in Howard County in 1881. Also, her father died in Indiana in 1883, so if she came with him it would have had to be in 1883 or earlier. The obit doesn't say where she died, so it seems probable that she died at the hospital in Marion Co.

In addition to the sons linked below, Sallie and her husband were the parents of the daughter mentioned in the obit -- Mary Ada Borders (born 1884, died in infancy, burial place unknown).
