Her death certificate records Mrs. Sarah Alice Wagner, age 65 years 9 months 21 days, born 25 June 1873 in Kentucky, died 5 Apr 1939 in Paris, Bourbon Co., Ky, address 1901 S. Main St., married, wife of J. A. Wagner, father Geo Washington Fookes, mother’s maiden name Sallie Kearns, both born in Kentucky, cause of death chronic myocarditis, informant Edward Wagner, burial in Jacksonville.

1900 census of Bourbon Co., Ky, Ruddles Mills precinct, enumerated 5 June, lists on p. 7B as family #140/144:
Wagoner, Alvin, 33, b. Jan 1867, Ky Ohio Va, farmer; Alice, wife, 26, b. June 1873, Ky Ky Ky, married 1 year, mother of 9 children, 9 living; Edward, son, 5/12, b. Dec 1900, Ky Ky Ky; Sarah, mother, 69, widowed, b. June 1830, Va Va Va, mother of 5 children, 4 living. Clump, John, grandson, 12, b. Oct 1897, Ky Ky Ky. Fookes, Edward, servant, 29, b. Dec 1870, Ky Ky Ky, widowed.

There are several flaky things about this listing. If Alvin is really 33, he can’t have a 12 year old grandson; the grandson relationship may be to Sarah Wagoner, making John be Alvin’s nephew. It is also highly unlikely that Alice is the mother of 9 living children at age 26, of whom only one is living with her. She is one of a family of 9 siblings who were all living in 1900, though; apparently she misinterpreted the question. Finally, the relationship of Edward Fookes should be given as brother-in-law.
