Message Board Post:
I am developing a theater archive in Los Angeles and recently purchased a scrapbook of
playbill's and newspaper clippings that I believe belonged to a Miss Sadie Stockton.
This seems to have been a stage name however.
I found additional notices for the marriage of Sadie Stockton to C. Jay Smith on September
29, 1899 in Michigan. But also a notice from January 1907 announcing the death of Sadie
Stockton's mother "Elizabeth Detrick of Corunna, Ind. on Jan. 7". I believe
Sadie Stockton was actually the Sarah Detrick Smith of Chicago listed in the above
obituary. Sadie was also have Chicago and "Sadie" was a nickname for Sarah. I
don't know where the name Stockton came from, it may have been a stage name or perhaps
she had been married earlier.
I have not yet received the scrapbook which is in the mail and will be donated to the
archive. If anyone as any additional information (and photos!) of Sadie and/or family I
would love to hear from you.
