Beulah Aley Province was born on May 20, 1881, in Rector, in the newly created county of Clay, Arkansas. She was the sixth of eleven children of William Andrew "Billie" Province and Candace Knight Province. Her parents had come to farm the newly logged field of northeast Arkansas with their families before marrying in 1873.

Beulah's siblings were: William, Arthur, Delia, Albert, Hardyman, Ruben, Judy Bell, Ruthie, Lela May, and John. Her parents and some of her siblings are buried at the Mobley Family Cemetery; her father's mother was a Mobley, and the Mobley, Knight, and Province families lived near each other and often intermarried.

Beulah married James Alvin "Alvie" Phillips on May 29, 1898, just over a week past her seventeenth birthday. For the first couple of years of their marriage, they lived with Alvie's widowed mother, Mary Phillips. They continued to live in Clay County for several years before moving to Reynolds Township in neighboring Greene County between 1910 and 1920.

Beulah and Alvie had six children: Charles Edward (1899-1965, married Ruby), Floy Mary Candis (1902-?), John W.(1905-1989, married Ethel), Thomas Jefferson "Tom" (1908-1993, married Lavada Eagle), Lela Cornelia (1912-1982, married George Hamelback), and Wayne Estes (my great-grandfather, 1914-2004, married Irene Hampton).

Alvie and Beulah were known to their grandchildren as Pappy and Mammie. Alvie died at the age of seventy in 1945. In the 1960's, some of their children and grandchildren went out to California for a few years to work, and Beulah died in Corcoran, Kings County, California, where she had moved to be close to them.
