Melissa Bell "Lissie" Hooper married Silas Fulton Bradford in Limestone County, Alabama on 30 Mar 1929. No issue. She helped raise her niece Flora Louise Moore.

LISSIE HOOPER BRADFORD'S BURIAL:
Lissie died unexpectedly in Coffee County Nursing home. It was cold weather and had snowed. Hardly anyone could travel anywhere. Hardly anyone could get to the Funeral Home to visit. I think her neighbors, the Riddles, came.
We had a hard time getting to the Melson Cemetery in Lincoln County because of the slick roads. Lissie had no children, so there were no people who came to the cemetery. In fact, there was no funeral.
Tom Coats, Jr., her nephew, me (Janelle Layne Coats) and a couple of guys who drove the hearse carried Lissie's body to the gravesite, which was some distance from the hearse.
We did not stay for the internment, but I'm sure they had to wait a few days for the snow to melt to get anything in there to close the grave.
It was my first experience as a Pall Bearer.
