1869 Louisville City Directory, as Sarah M. Hickey, same addr as Maurice, dressmaker
and fancy goods
"Sara's Story" unpub manuscript by Sara Maguire Dougherty says she came at age 16
but that doesn't fit the 1900 census report of having arrived in 1850. Says they settled
in Louisville before the Civil War and that it must have been quite a number of years
before (but that doesn't square with the 1860 census, nor with an 1855 arrival).
She ended up in Pittsburgh when she took her granddaughter Sara Maguire back
home because Sara had been ill with diptheria when she was in Philadelphia for Mary
Hickey Maule's funeral.
