1920 Census - I have found no record of Sabra on the 1920 census. Not in San Saba Co., TX., or the entire State of OK. Her first born daughter, Emily Jane (Montgomery) Hanna was recorded on the 1920 Census of Roger Mills County, OK - where Sabra is said to have died in 1921 yet Sabra was not recorded as living in Emily's home on the 1920 census. Sabra's son Richard was living in Hidalgo Co., N.M. in 1920. Sabra's son Martin was living in Curry Co., N.M. in 1920 Sabra's 1910 Census record indicated that of the 11 children she had given birth to only 5 of those children were alive in 1910. Those five were the aforementioned Richard, Martin and Emily as well as Zachariah and her youngest, William. And William died in 1919 so there is only one other possibility for any of her remaining children who MAY have still been alive in 1920 and that would be her son Zachariah.

1921 - According to Sabra's Find A Grave memorial she died in Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, and she was buried in the Union Chapel Cemetery in Roger Mills Co., OK.
