husband, Henry Brigham Whittaker
When Sarah A. Kinder married Henry B. Whittaker, she was already a widow at the age of 29. The writing on the Kanawha County Marriage Record of 1869, Page 66, is very hard to read; but looks like her last name when she was married was "Overalls". However, this marriage record provided the names of her parents, Henry and Mary Kinder.
At the end of 1871 on the 16th of December Henry B. and Sarah A. Whittaker sold their house and property and transferred the deed to Bushrod Creel. They moved to Winfield in Putnam County, West Virginia, where Henry was a jeweler.
She was first married James Overall, Soldier
Sarah also states in the pension application that there were no children born of her marriage to James H. Overall. Sarah and Henry's only child, a daughter, Ada, took care of Sarah in the last years of her life; and, great detail is given in Sarah's Civil War widow's pension file regarding her final illness. Her daughter claimed that she had gone "crazy" and "lost her mind" to such an extent that she had to watch her 24 hours a day, without any relief. She finally died of "blood poisoning" or septicemia at a hospital in Huntington, West Virginia.
Sarah's body was transferred back home to Winfield, Putnam County to be buried in the Winfield Cemetery.
