Married Thomas Hill Nov 9, 1879, Newton Co., AR
Married Isham Wheeler Aug 16, 1885, Mt. Hersey, Newton Co., AR

NAME: On the back of an old photo a note says her name is pronounced "Sa-ta-ra."
She has been refered to by youngest daughter Hattie's family as Satarah, Satirah, Satire, Star, Satira, and by her middle name, Elizabeth, Lizzie, and "Grandma Elizabeth." A granddaughter of brother George Gamblin says the family always refers to her as Aunt Satara or Star.
Perhaps her parents spoke her name as "Satarah Elizabeth Gamblin." The spelling "Statiah" appears on her headstone, and on her death certificate, as provided by son Joe Wheeler. Since spelling, reading, writing, and the privilege of attending school was not a luxury held by many of our pioneer ancestors, we might need to put more meaning on the way a name was pronounced.
Anyway you spell it, "Sa-ta-ra," is a beautiful name.
PRECIOUS LITTLE MEMORIES:
Granddaughter Molly Clifton Templeton spoke of how "Grandma Wheeler" knit her a pair of red socks. When Molly lost one of the socks, it broke Grandma's heart.
Molly recalls that "grandma Wheeler" scraped her apples to make a mush which she could eat without teeth.
Granddaughters Mint & Dean Wheeler told that "Grandma Elizabeth" came to Newton Co. Arkansas from St. Joseph Missouri where they were neighbors to the James Brothers.[These infamous outlaws also came to AR from MO. According to the Newton County Historical Society, the James gang, the Daltons and others are known to have been in Newton County, Arkansas using it as a place to hide out, and Vaughan family history says their first Newton County ancestor, Joe Vaughn was actually Frank James, which is the name on his headstone.]
