Person:Sally Eddy (2)

BIOGRAPHY:

Sally Ann was a very pretty girl and full of fun.  She went to Jones' Chapel for Sunday School.  She was named after her two grandmothers, Sally Eddy and Ann Hite.  She went to Jones' Chapel for Sunday School.  The Eddy family and Jones family had always been good friends until Sally Ann and Milo Jones showed too great friendship.  When Sally's parents forbad her seeing Milo, the courtship was carried on through notes carried by a mutual friend.  One June Sunday (June 25, 1875), Sally Ann left for Sunday School all dressed up in a new white dress, new shoes, hat, and a ribbon sash.  But instead of going to Sunday School, she went across the road to the home of Milo Jones, Sr.  There she was united in marriage with young Milo by his uncle, Rev. Ichobod Jones.  It nearly broke her mother's heart.  And Sally never received her mother's forgiveness.  The young couple started housekeeping in a log cabin.  Two children were born: Grace and Enos.  When Grace was eight years old, her parents parted and divorced.  Grace went with her mother, and Enos went to live with the Jones family.  Sally Ann went to Kendallville for a short time and clerked in a store.  She then went to Elkhart where her uncle had a grocery store; she then kept house for her father on the farm.  In August of 1892, Sally married William Trowel, a cranky old bachelor who was a painter and paperhanger.  Sally's life was never the happy one her mother wanted for her.
