Herbaugh, Sadie Belle Baker (1909-1986)
Description
Portrait photograph of Sadie Belle (Baker) Herbaugh with short hair and glasses.
Sadie Belle was the daughter of Cora Alice (Wine) Baker. Her stepfather was Charles Baker, however, the name of her biological father is unknown. Some records list Sadie’s maiden name as “Wine” while others use “Baker”.
Her 1938 marriage to Marcus Herbaugh lists her maiden name as "Richard".
Sadie’s first husband was Harry Philip Copp (1902-1934), a farmer. Sadie and Harry married in 1923 and had four children together: Catherine, Helen, Isabelle, and Polly. They lived in Shenandoah County’s Stonewall District near Woodstock. Harry died in 1934.
In 1938 Sadie married Mark Herbaugh (1914-1954), a truck driver. He died in 1954.
The 1940 census found the two of them living together in the Stonewall District of Shenandoah County, without children. All four of Sadie's daughters, teenaged by then, were living with other families that year and appear as “foster” children or “lodgers”.
Sadie lived most of her life in and around the town of Woodstock. She worked as a cook for the school system and later for Shenandoah County Memorial Hospital where she retired from as a dietician. Outside of work and her family she volunteered with the Woodstock Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary, cooking for many of the organization’s fundraising dinners.
