I recently given an obituary for Sarah Devlin McClernon. I am now looking to see other family members beside Henry, Arthur, and Peter. She had a sister who was a nun in Nebraska, another in Illinois, and a brother in Irleland on the homested. I am posting this with the hopes that someone may no anything more. My great grandfather Henry Devlin in also listed her on this website. BTW, I believe the sister who whas a nun was named Ellen.
