Luvenia is a daughter of Rebecca Williams and Zebedee Stockstill (1825-1862). Zebedee was killed while working on his farm during the Civil War. Family history says he was killed by bushwackers who roamed the countryside. Their burial sites are in the little Bowles Cemetery near the Dade-Lawrence county line.
Rebecca Williams Stockstill remarried November 25, 1873 to Thomas Dudley Trimble, a widower. Their children George Washington Trimble and Luvenia Stockstill married each other the next Spring on April 16,1874.
In her elder years Luvenia always wore a little black, gathered night cap. Her grandson Allan said she was known to sweep the dirt paths to the outbuildings from her home with a broom. Her home was "carpeted" with rag rugs that she made on her large loom. Every spring they would be removed for cleaning. Fresh straw would be put down, before placing the rugs back and sewing them together.
Luvenia and her daughter Ada were wonderful seamstresses. After husband George's death, Luvenia lived next door to Ada's family in Everton, and they made everything from quilts and dresses, to mens suits.
