Name: Julie (Golden) Mathews
I'm looking for information about Sarilda (Harless) Mantlo MATHEWS (1854-1921). She was married to Dr. William W. Mantlo in Sullivan County 27 Feb 1870. They are found living in Sullivan Co. in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. In the 1900 census they are in Mercer Co. Dr. Mantlo died in 1903 and Sarilda married someone by the last name of Mathews. Does anyone know who or when she married? She died 27 Nov 1921 and is buried in the Lindley Cemetery. Her place of death listed on her death certificate is Laredo, Grundy Co., MO.

Does anyone know anything about this Mathews family? I assume that they lived in Grundy Co. (Incidentally, my last name is Mathews, but only through marriage.....I'm related to Sarilda through her marriage to Dr. Mantlo. I'm sure my husband's Mathews family isn't connected to the Grundy Co. family....just coincidence).

Any help would be appreciated.
