Aurilla married William Leander Jarrell; they had no children. My mother, Margaret Nelson, was close to Wiliam Leander and Aurilla. Mom visited the house where Aurilla had once lived, and found the following poem lying on the floor. I had to leave one word out, as the poem was hand printed, and it couldn't be made out. How I wish I knew who wrote that poem. Gladys Gardner.

AURILLA
Aurilla's sweet, Aurilla's fair,
Though wrinkled brow and greying hair.
A toil bent back, and tired eyes
that, to me, outshine the skies.
In trouble, grief, and ****care,
I look, and lo! she's always there
Holding the candle that lights the ways
Through the darkest hours of the darkest days.
So bless her, Lord, because to me,
She's Aunt and Mother and I know that we
all love her, Lord. Aurilla
(SIGNED) A NEPHEW.
