    Notes 
    • Identified in obituary of son Albert William Devericks as Lora Amelia Barker and in obituary of daughter Vada Vanscoy as Lara Amelia Barker. But her marriage record identifies her as Sarah M. Barker, and birth records of her children list her as S. M., Sarah, Sarah M., and Amelia Barker. Her own obituary identifies her as Amelia Deverick [sic]. The middle initial "M" is still not explained, unless it is a result of shortening "Amelia" to "Melia," as was done with daughter Melia Vada Devericks.
