Matilda Jane Bruce was known as Aunt Bee and she lived with Martin Jasper 'Dock' Andrus and his family. Her parents were Franklin F. Bruce & Winney England. She is the sibling to Caroline Elizabeth Bruce who lived with James H. Andrus; Philadelphia Bruce; John Riley Bruce; and Emaline Bruce the mother of Martin Jasper 'Dock' Andrus. She is buried in the Andrus family cemetery on the first home place at what is now Tri-City. James Archibald's monument at extreme right, Clara Edith next, Matilda Bruce (replacement monument) and Emery's at extreme left (also replacement monument). Note the engraved plaque attached to fence. Slayden Douthitt's father Boone Douthitt, made a commitment to Doc [Martin J. Andrus, his father-in-law] to keep the family cemetery cleaned. I sure hope this is being done by some of the family members. [Per Shirley Wadell, Nov 2012]
