Daughter of Lillaree Fair and Othar Lee Baggett.
Sister of A.G. and Mary Ann Baggett
Granddaughter of Effie Brown and Arthur Fair and
Lucy Bonds and George Baggett. Nellie was killed in a tragic accident getting off the school bus at Bonny Brook. She was 6 yrs. old. The teacher said Nellie was so smart and so far ahead of the students in her 1st grade class that she had moved Nellie to the 2nd grade. The school had given out tickets to a circus coming to town and she was so excited to show mama the tickets they had given her. She dropped them when she got off the bus. Mama's brother Jack met her at the road and had her by the hand but Nellie pulled away to retrieve the circus tickets she'd dropped and was hit by a car coming from Anniston driven by a young sailor. Mama would not press charges against the Tumlin boy as she said it would not bring Nellie back. The judge asked mama if she'd lost her mind to not press charges about it. She told the judge it wouldn't bring her back and the boy would pay for the accident by remembering it the rest of his life.
