She was the wife of William Benjamin "Ben" BECHAM (1877-1948). Ben & Della were married 9 December 1897 in Crawford County, Georgia. Family tradition tells that Della's mother died in childbirth and Della was cared for by her father's sister Nancy Ann HUDSON until he remarried Anise Delilah BECHAM. It appears judging from dates found concerning the death of Mary Jane ROWLAND HUDSON that she died in childbirth with a second child NOT Della. Della's grave in 2003 is found to be sinking or settling and is unmarked other than by a crumbling concret slab. Della & Ben were parents to: Mary Jane Becham (Mrs. Daniel W. HANCOCK) Erie I. BECHAM (Mrs. Grady Gordon) Athol Curtis BECHAM Lucy Oneda BECHAM (Mrs. James Ellis AULTMAN) William J. BECHAM James Dalton BECHAM (Maxine) Jesse BECHAM (Dorothy "Dot") Becham, William Benjamin Jun., 1877(Crawford Co)-Dec. 27, 1948 Fort Valley Peach County "Ben" is the son of William Seaborn "Sea or SeeBee" BECHAM (1853-1918) & Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" HARRELL BECHAM (1859-1938). He was the husband of Della Rebecca HUDSON BECHAM (1881-1954). Della was the daughter of James Russell "Ruffin" HUDSON (1857- 1939) & his first wife Mary Jane ROWLAND (1857- 1883). Ben & Della were married 9 December 1897 in Crawford County, Georgia. Ben was a "Jug Maker" or a potter and a carpenter according to census records. He died at home in Fort Valley on 27 December and was buried in Society Hill Cemetery on 29 December. Society Hill is located at the present day Victory Baptist Church. Society Hill Church began in 1815 as a Methodist church. Webb Funeral Home handled his arrangements. In 2003 Ben's grave is in need of repair as is the grave of Della. The graves were covered with concrete which is crumbling. He has a funeral marker which is often knocked off the grave when the church lawn is mown. Ben's son Jesse BECHAM is buried nearby at his parent's feet as his marker may be used as a burial reference point in the event Ben's marker is misplaced. Ivy Hudson Jun. 16, 1900(Bibb Co)-1911 Ivy was the daughter of James Russell "Ruffin" Hudson & Anise Delilah "Lila" Becham Hudson. Ivy died from complications of juvenile diabetes. The night she died her big brothers were devastated. The family story passed down was that all night the boys could be heard wailing from the barn. Ivy was the youngest and the family pet. She was dearly loved and deeply missed. She is buried in an unmarked grave indicated only by a blank concrete slab among her parents, brothers, & sisters.
