Sources ~ Obituary Published in the 'Negro Deaths' Section in the January 15, 1961 Edition of The Marshall News Messenger [Texas Newspaper]; and the 1900-1940 census records of Harrison County, Texas
Note: She is reflected in the 1880 census as the five-year-old daughter with her widowed mother and her siblings; as well as her grandmother, Mrs. Polly Dabney, and her step-grandfather, Dickerson Dabney. Therefore, a more accurate birth year of 1874 is reflected in this memorial.
