I am looking for any information on Meta (Terrell) Beach Bailey or her daughter Margaret Beach (Margaret's name was spelled Beech on her birth certificate). Meta's name may have been Sarah Almeda (or Almeta). The 1900 census lists her as Sarah A. (My mother called her "Aunt Mead".) Meta was the daughter of Jonathan and Nancy Riley Terrell. Her first marriage was to Byrd F. Beach. She was divorced in Indianapolis about 1911 or 1912.

Meta's daughter Margaret was born in Indianapolis on 25 April 1907 and was referred to in the 1910 census as "M. Lucile Beach."

The last mention I find of Meta was as "Meta Bailey" when she was named as a survivor in her sister's obituary in 1929. At that time, she apparently was living in New Lebanon, Gill Township, Sullivan County, Indiana. I find nothing further on either Meta or Margaret after the 1910 census when they were still in Indianapolis.

Meta apparently died before 1940 because she was not mentioned in her father's obituary when he died in 1940.

I guess it's possible Meta was married more than twice, and maybe that is why I can't find her.

I would be so grateful for any information anyone may be able to provide.
