Coberly-Crull Marriage

Speaking of Sarah Coberly, here's the announcement of her marriage to William Crull in May 1865.

Crull's big red barn was a well-known landmark on the Denver-Colorado City route; a one-room log cabin which may have been built by him is still standing near the Tomah Road exit on I-25, a preserved historical site.

The marriage didn't last. It was Sarah's second of three. For reasons not entirely clear, some in my family are under the impression that William Crull abused his adopted daughter Lizzie Field Crull.
