Sadie was born 18 Apr 1871 (some records say 1872) in Washington Township, Wayne County, Iowa, to Silas and Sophia Maple. The family moved and homesteaded near Kingman, Kansas. Sadie was educated and upon completion of her education, she became a school teacher. She traveled to China and Italy in 1915, bringing home interesting stories to tell the townspeople. Sadie lived with her parents when they became feeble, and she moved to Maryland after her mother's death. She appears on the Maryland 1920 census, teaching soldiers at Fort McHenry. She testified before a Federal Board about the poor conditions there. Sadie lived most of her life in the D. C. area, traveling extensively around the world, including San Francisco, Hawaii, England, New York, Los Angeles, Guam, and the Philippines. Towards the end of her life, she was a landlady who took in boarders--single women like herself. In the last census, she is listed as a writer of fiction. She passed away in late 1958, and her family brought her home to Kingman where she was buried next to her parents.
