Mattie Alexander Hatchell married George Hatchell on New Year's Eve in 1896.

Here's an obituary that was published on the day of Mattie's burial. Note that although the obituary recognizes that George was a survivor, it does not mention his name:

"TIMMONSVILLE - Funeral services for Mrs. G.C. Hatchell, 76, of the Lake Swamp community in Darlington County will be held at Lake Swamp Baptist Church at 3:30 this afternoon.

Rites will be conducted by her pastor, the Reverend Ray Halson, assisted by the Reverend Robert E. Clyde, pastor of High Hill and Central Baptist Church of Darlington. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.

Mrs. Hatchell died suddenly at her residence after returning from a missionary meeting late Tuesday afternoon. She was very active in all religious work in her community.

Survivors, besides her husband, include two daughters, Mrs. R.A. Blackman of Darlington, Glenn C. of Timmonsville; Ruff T. of Marion and Roger J. of Roanoke Rapids, N.C.; one sister, Miss Maggie Alexander of Timmonsville; and two brothers, Luther Alexander of Timmonsville and Joe Alexander of Elim; 25 grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren and a number of nieces and nephews.
