She was born 18 November 1864. She joined the Christian church at the age of 14 years and was baptized in Maury county, Tenn. She was a faithful wife and loving mother, and leaves a husband, and little daughter, and father, mother, two sisters and three brothers to mourn her loss. We would say to here mother, weep not, for dear Bettie is only waiting and watching for you. How her brothers miss her kind and loving letters, telling them how they ought to live, and to never forget the dear old home. She was never heard to murmur. She knew all the friends who were around her just before her departure, and she asked her little girl if she wanted to kiss mamma. We would say to the bereaves relatives, weep not as those who have no hope, for Bettie sleeps sweetly with Jesus. Taylor County News Abilene, Taylor County, Texas Friday, November 5, 1897
