second wife of Rainey W Bethea Sr
children:
Chessley
Rainey Jr
Bennie
Gladys 1918-1918

stepchildren:
Ora
Shad

Her son Rainey Jr was the last public hanging in Kentucky
before he was hanged, he asked that his body was sent back to South Carolina to his sister, Ora.
*He was buried in a paupers grave nearby*
He also stated before his hanging, he was orphaned with the death of his Mother in 1919, & the death of his Father in 1926.

So I assume that Shad & Bennie died also before 1936.
