Mary James, third child of Judge Wyatt Starke and Elizabeth Columbia (Miller)
Beazley, was born in Greene county, Virginia, August 5, 1866. She, too, attended
the Albemarle Female Institute, and at an early age became the wife of Thomas
Davis Durrette, also of Greene county, Virginia. Children: 1. Atwood Beazley,
born in 1885, at his father's death assisted his mother with the home and farm.
2. Lizzie Lucretia, born in 1887; became the wife of Frank Kirtly, of Madison
county, Virginia, and they are the parents of three children: Mary Kyle,
Sinclair David, and Keyser. 3. Mamie James, born December 2, 1888; was graduated
in trained nursing from The Retreat for the Sick, Richmond, Virginia, and by the
display of executive ability and talent in the management of affairs was chosen,
after six months of the most satisfactory service as nurse, for the position of
superintendent of The Home for Incurables of Richmond; much to the regret of
both inmates and board of managers, a year later she became the wife of Starkey
Hare, of North Carolina. 4. Carrie Epps, born in November 1891; has been making
a fine record as trained nurse since her graduation from the Johnston-Willis
Hospital in 1914; one of her teachers testified that she had everything
necessary to the perfect nurse, a high recommendation. 5. Thomas Davis, born in
October, 1895; has just received his graduating diploma from the high school in
Greene county, Virginia. 6. Robert Sanford, born September 19, 1897, is a
student in the same school as his brother, Thomas Davis.
