Fortune Photo can be seen at: http://www.usgwarchives.net/al/pike/photos/fortune2302gph.jpg Image file size: 54.9 Kb Rev. James Madison Fortune (b. September 26, 1856 - d. May 1, 1904), son of James & Caroline (Walter/sWatters) Fortune, Sr., married Mrs. Rebecca Catherine (Darris) Murphy (b. February 14, 1858 - d. May 19, 1922) on November 5, 1869 in Pike County, Alabama. Rebecca married first William H. Murphy on December 29, 1857, when she was 12 years, 10 months, and 15 days old. They had one daughter, Sarah "Sallie" (1861-1935), wife of John W. Porter. James and Rebecca are buried in Myrtlewood Cemetery, Fort Deposit, Lowndes County, Alabama. Rebecca's death certificate states she is buried in Fort Deposit. It is assumed she is buried in one of the unmarked graves in the Fortune lot. (Previous records state Rebecca is buried in Center Ridge Cemetery, Pike County, Alabama, not as stated on her death certificate. Which is correct?)
