Ive rescued an old photograph of William and Minnie SADLER and their daughter Stella May SADLER from Poplar Hill, VA. It appears to have been taken in the early 1900s. A note on the back of the photograph indicates that Stella was born 8 Oct 1900 at Poplar Hill, VA. The couple looks to be in their 20s at the time with Stella a toddler at the time it was taken. A note also indicates that Stella became Stella May HOOVER and had a daughter Claudia. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: William Kemper SADLER was b. 1 Apr 1875 in Giles Co. VA to parents Charles Rucker SADLER (1836 or 1843-1932) and Harriet Jane ROBERTSON (1847-1885). William was one of 7 children born to this couple including, Henrietta; Mary; Eva Ellen; Floyd Rufus Austin; James O.; William K.; and Ora S. SADLER, all born between 1867 and 1875. After the death of their Mother Harriet, their father remarried and had 9 additional children, including, Martha Elizabeth; Charles Henry; Samuel Shannon; John Edward; Nancy Jane; Andrew Bane; Annie Lydia; Dolly Covington; and Bittie King SADLER, all born between 1886 and 1899. William was married twice, first to Minnie SADLER or SADDLER (b. 1878) and a second time to Sally A. SADLER (b. 1877). It is believed that William had 4 children with Sally including, Thomas B. and Grace SADLER born in 1909 and 1911. William died in Jan 1947 in Poplar Hill, VA and is buried in the Sadler Cemetery in Poplar Hill, VA. Daughter Stella May SADLER b. 1901 in Hagistown VA married Claude HOOVER (b. 1895 in Harrison Co. WV, son of Clyde & Elizabeth HOOVER) on 10 Jan 1923 in Hopewell, VA. Stella May’s parents were listed as “unknown” on her marriage certificate. Census records provide the following details: 1910 census of Walkers Creek, VA: - living in the home of her guardians William & Maggie E. GIBBONY Stella SADLER, age 10, born VA, parents born VA 1920 census of Walkers Creek, VA: - listed as a companion to William & Maggie M. GIBBONEY Stella M. SADDLER, age 19, born VA I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this SADLER Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
