Her son Willie died during WWI and was originally buried in France. For awhile she did not believe he was killed in the war but believed Uncle Sam killed him as she believed that he was a real person. She constantly requested for his body to be returned to her and sometime around 1923 he was finally returned to the states and was laid to rest in Bracken Co., Kentucky.
