Person:Sarah Higginson (2)

!BIRTH: FAMILY RECORDS; 1900 UTAH CENSUS..SANTAQUIN, UTAH CO, UTAH MARRIAGE RECORD ALSO GIVES AGE. MARRIAGE: COPY OF MARRIAGE RECORDS IN POSSESSION OF CHARLES JOHNSON, c/o 530 S. 4th St.,LAS VEGAS, NV. 89101. DEATH RECORD: PERSONAL AND FAMILY KNOWLEDGE. CEMETERY STONE..PROVO,UTAH DIVORCE: COPY IN POSSESSION OF CHARLES W. JOHNSON, c/o 530 So.4th St. LAS VEGAS, NV 89101...... !SARAH CELESTIA HIGGINSON EVIDENTLY LEFT NO RECORDS TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. THE STORY GOES THAT SHE MARRIED CHARLES JOHNSON, HE WAS NOT A MEMBER AS FAR AS WE KNOW. THEY HAD ONE CHILD, VALDEMAR ELDRIDGE JOHNSON. WE HAVE FOUND NO VALDEMAR OR ELDRIDGE NAME ON HER SIDE SO FAR AND HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE CERTAINLY MAY BE THESE FAMILY NAMES ON HIS SIDE OF THE FAMILY, WHICH TO THIS POINT (5-10-93) WE ARE STILL TRYING TO RESEARCH. LONG AGO I FOUND SOME VALDEMAR NAMES AS A SUR- NAME IN THE ARCHIVES IN SALT LAKE....ROYAL NAMES FROM DENMARK, I BELIEVE.

    SARAH CELESTIA WAS ASK BY HER HUSBAND TO LEAVE THE AREA, BUT THE

STORY GOES THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE HER SICK MOTHER. IN THE DIVORCE RECORD IT SAID HE DESERTED THEM.....I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM OTHER THAN GRANDPA SAID HE SAW HIS FATHER FOR THE LAST TIME WHEN HE WAS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR YEARS OLD...THAT HE WAS A TALL MAN. HE WAS NOT FOUND FOR THE DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS OR NOT THERE.

    WE HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE WITNESSES TO THE WEDDING IN

SALT LAKE. CHARLES JOHNSON TOLD SARAH CELESTIA THAT HIS FATHER WAS IN THE JUDICIARY.............WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN A RELATIVE...BUT AT ANY RATE, GEORGE GOODWIN WAS A WITNESS AND WAS A JUDGE IN SALT LAKE CITY. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IS THE REASON THEY MARRIED IN S.L.? WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT THERE WAS AN ATTORNEY JOHNSON IN THE SAME AREA OF SO.DAKOTA FOR A TIME WHERE GEO. GOODWIN USED TO LIVE (SEE FILE FOLDER ON JOHNSON RESEARCH FROM COLLEEN JOHNSON IN POSSESSION OF CHARLES W. JOHSON, LAS VEGAS, NV).
