She married Robert Berry Cochran in Monticello, FL Feb. 2nd, 1916 and they settled in Boston, Georgia. I do know my grandfather was born Jan.5th, 1870 and died Dec.3rd, 1924. He owned 2 or 3 houses in town as well as rental property and a farm just outside of town. He helped build the first concrete and steel bridge in the area. Sarah and Robert had 3 children: Martha[1-20-1917 to 7-2002], Robert Berry II [3-6-1919 to 8-18-1996] and V. Rebecca[12-25-1920 to 2001]. All 3 children of this marriage were born at home in Boston, GA. We think Robert Berry Cochran was born in Texas Jan. 5, 1870 and was living with his widowed mother and siblings in Columbia, GA. at the age of 12 and ran a produce stand. He is buried at the Boston, Ga. cemetary. My grandmother remarried, later annulled, but sold off the properties in town and moved out to the farm which supported them during the depression. submitted by Sandy MacAllister Sep 2002 Georgia Death Index, 1919-1927 Name: R.
