Ashland Progress
Alexander City Outlook Apr 17, 1956: 
At 93 Mrs. Fanny Jones Bearden of Mellow Valley is very active and keeps 
persistently at her washing and housework. She lives with niece. Mrs. Frank 
Hilyer. On May 22, 1862, when Gens. Grant and Sherman were hardly heard of, she 
was born at Rockdale, Ga. At an early age she moved with her family to Ashland. 
Following her marriage to the late J.J. in 1895, the couple moved to Mellow 
Valley. For 70 ears she has been a member of Providence Primitive Baptist 
Church. As long as her husband lived the couple never missed page a service 
there. And, as one of her relatives says: "They went by horse and buggy, and the 
weather was never too cold nor rainy for their going to church." However, she 
has not been able to attend church regularly for the past few years. And, to 
keep on being young at heart with interests that never tire, Mrs. Bearden enjoys 
crocheting, quilt-piecing and working with flowers.
