Marriage Notes for ADAM MCCOLLUM and SARAH BAKER:

Adam and Sarah were divorced in 1896, only to re-marry in 1899.

Adam liked to visit a poor, lonely grass-widow (divorcee) named Phoebe.  One night he saddles his horse and went visiting.  Not long after, Sarah walked the distance (1/4 mi.) and looked in the window, saw the two of them inside talking and went to the tethered horse, untied him, got into the saddle and rode home.
