Samuel Sloat married once more after Maggie Belle?s death in 1922. An article published in the Elkhart Truth lists a Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Sloat as attending the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of George & Mary Sweitzer. I was told my grandfather was never very fond of his step-mother and thus I never found out any information on her. I need to examine Elkhart County Marriage Records for 1923 - 1925 to find this information.
An obituary notice for Maggie Belle Rhodes was never found in any of the area newspapers. I believe this was in part due to Maggie dying and being buried over the July 4th holiday.
Samuel Sloat owned several homes in the Elkhart Area. The first home I know of was located several miles outside Elkhart on Oakland Avenue. This home still stands as of October 1999. Samuel then moved into a home at 613 W Garfield in Elkhart. I have pictures showing the move from the home on Oakland to the one on Garfield.
Sometime in the late 1920?s, Samuel and his second wife moved to a home across town. My grandparents Robert Q. & Grace M. (Cook) Sloat then moved into the home at 613 W Garfield. This home was not officially sold to my grandparents until after Samuel's death in 1934. The home was part of the estate which grandfather purchased from Perry Sloat & Laura (Sloat) Geyer for a $1 each. A copy of this transaction remains in the family today.
