Ozley lived in extreme western Union Parish, right on the Claiborne Parish line about seven miles west of Shiloh. She lived in the household of her son-in-law, A. C. Harper. ================================================================================== ================================================================================== OZLEY - MRS. MARY LOUISA OZLEY was born March 5, 1820, and died in Union parish, La., October 4, 1881. She was the daughter of Washington and Rebecca Harper. She was first married to James P. Crump in 1837, with whom she lived thirteen years, and he died leaving two children, one of whom still lives to mourn her loss. In 1845 she was married to Seborn Ozley, with whom she lived thirty-five years. She was pious from a child up to old age, and was a zealous and useful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. As mother and wife she cheered and comforted her home. She was a Christian given to hospitality. I was her pastor for several years, and found she was missed from her tent at camp --sting by the neighborhood and all the church. She bore her extreme sufferings with Christian fortitude, and was perfectly resigned to the will of the good Lord. R. Parvin. ###################################################################
