• Notes

  The James Donald Munro reference says Sarah died 11 Feb 1920. Ref: Clan Munro files - Munro, James Donald St Andrew Anglican Church Records, New Carlisle, Quebec, Canada. 1864 - BORN - Sarah, daughter of William George Munro of Cox Township, farmer, and Selina (sic) Eliza Duval his wife; born May 23, baptized August 7, 1874. Parents: William G. Munro, Celina E. Munro. Sponsors: William Munro and Margaret, his wife (Grandparents), (Mrs.) Mary Gallie (Hocquard) - aunt. ----George Milne, Clergy. 1883 - MARRIED - John Baptist Podester of Jersey (Islands), Master Mariner, bachelor of major age, and Sarah Munro, spinster of minor age (19), were married on November 22, 1883 in the presence of the Bride's father, mother and friends. John B. Podester and Sarah Munro Witnesses: E. LeMarquand, William G. Munro - Bride's father, Margaret Munro. --- George Milne, Clergy. So far no further records of this marriage have surfaced in the Paspebiac or Quebec records. According to family history, Sarah went to Glasgow, Scotland (or Jersey Islands) with her husband where she had a son. However, apparently her husband abused her, and she returned to America and subsequently obtained a divorce. Sarah, herself lends credence to the existance of this child on her answers to the 1910 Federal Census in Columbia Falls, Montana where she declares "2 children born, and 2 living children" although the only child of her husband Joseph Imholt is William Bernard, who is the only child living with them. She states an immigration date to the United States of 1895; twelve years after her marriage to Capt. J.B. Podister. NOTE: on the 1900 Federal Census of Columbia Falls, Montana, Sarah admits no children born or living. She is married less than 3 years to Joseph and perhaps does not want to declare her previous child. Also noted is the error in computation on her tenure in the United States - if she immigrated in 1894-5 as stated, then she certainly cannot be a 15 year resident in 1900 ! Probably the census enumerator did not record accurately, or Sarah did not understand her questions. ___________________________________ MARRIED: December 1, 1897 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Hudson, Wisconsin: JOSEPH IMHOLT and SARAH MUNRO of Hudson Wisconsin. From: The History of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Hudson, Wisconsin, Published Sept 15, 1984 by Star-Observer Publishing Company, Hudson, WI. Marriages, Vol II. An interesting aside to this marriage of Joseph Imholt from the Catholic Imholt family to Sarah Munro, not only Protestant but divorced, would be his alienation from the Communrion Rites of his church. Joseph took Sarah and returned to Columbia Falls, Montana, where they attended a local Protestant church. Joseph's brothers and sister Theresia married and raised practicing Catholic families. Not only distance, but also religeon may have been a divisive factor although recently discovered correspondence indicates Joseph and his sisters were supportive and understanding with each other. _________________________________________ DEATH: On the Death Certificate # 2627 of Flathead County, State of Montana, Sarah is listed as 55 years 9 months and 18 days old on the date of her death 11 March 1920. Sarah had been ill with "Acute Sinusitis" for less than a month when she died at 3 A.M. with complicating "Acute Meningitis." Apparently her death was sudden and unexpected as she had seen her doctor only two days before on March 8th, and he was called to her bedside shortly before her death on the early morning of the 11th. An autopsy was done to confirm the cause of death. Sarah was buried at the Woodlawn Cemetery at Columbia Falls, Montana, on March 14th.
