Charles M Tweedie and Sarah M Sleeper, Sarah F Lansil, Evelyn Marie Brooks

Charles headstone
He is buried with his 3rd wife.

Charles M Tweedie
Parents: Thomas W Tweedie and Sarah Monk
Birth 1856 New Brunswick, Canada
Occupation(s) Mill Worker 1880, Harness Maker 1895
Marriages 
1) Sarah M. Sleeper 18 February 1876 Houlton, Aroostook, Maine

2) Sarah F Lansil 15 January 1895 Caribou, Aroostook, Maine

ALERT: according to this (Charles' second marriage record) he was a widower,
BUT, Sarah M Sleeper has vital records that prove he wasn't. At this point,
I am going to look for a divorce record.

Second page of Marriage #2
Shows parentage of Charles and Sarah #2
Proving he is the Charles that had been married to Sarah #1

3) Evelyn Marie Brooks 11 March 1916 Rumney, Grafton, New Hampshire

ALERT! the marriage record for Charles and Sarah F Lansil, his second wife, claims he was a widow in 1895 when he married her. I don't understand why.

currently incorrectly extracted as Sarah H.
I requested a correction to Sarah M and to add her maiden name
