Sarah Emma Sadler was born Christmas Day 25 December 1863 in Gaston County, North Carolina. Sarah married Giles Preston Stroup in 1888 at the age of 25. Giles was known as “Press” Stroup. Press inherited the old Bartlett “Bart” Stroup home and farm. Press and Emma had 7 children, 3 boys and 4 girls. Emma died 7 August 1919 and is buried at Christ Lutheran Church in Stanley, North Carolina.
Daphna Ruth Stroupe Shelton who is Emma’s Granddaughter provided the photo. I included a photo of Daphna so you can see the close resemblance. Daphna is the current outgoing Stroup Reunion Committee President. Daphna has done a wonderful job for all the Stroup family. She has also promised me a photo of her father William Erley Stroup.
