"Genie" was the daughter of John Joseph Whitehead (April 2, 1825-December 14, 1887) and Martha Elizabeth Owen Dees (June 19, 1824-June 18, 1904). They are buried in Kizer Hill Cemetery, Melvin, Alabama. She was the first wife of Francis V. Walthall. They were married April 27, 1880 in Melvin, Choctaw County, Alabama. They had nine children as follows:
John Francis Walthall
Lillie Vivian Walthall
+ Charles Monroe Harris
Cicero Butler Walthall
+ Sarah Ann Illa Ivy
Edwin Sullivan Walthall
+ Alpha Joyce
Mary Alice Walthall
+ Rufus Franklin (Bud) Ivey
Emma Rilla Walthall
+ Will Ivy
+ John Alpheus Broadway
Osca Walthall
William Octavious Walthall
+ Pauline Wegransky
Martha Laverna Walthall
+ Henry George Tew
The cause of Genie's death is uncertain but family has said that she died of pneumonia or more tragically that she and her son Osca died within days of each other due to a rabid cat scratch/bite. She was buried at Quitman Cemetery (Odd Fellows). Due to a flood there, her gravesite is uncertain as it was thought to have washed up. There is no gravestone. My great grandmother Lillie used to go the cemetery searching for her mother but never found her.
