Adrienne was killed when a stack of recently cut logs around which she was playing fell on her. She was a favorite of the young boys in the family because of her cheerfulness. My father (her brother Elbert Dayton "Mac" McKissack) told me about how she cried when he left to go away to school. He said she was 9 years old when she died, and some other materials say she died in 1934. Wonder if 1931 is a misreading of the tombstone?
