Little Stella was the infant daughter of Melissa with her first husband Joseph I Perrin.
Melissa's first husband was Joseph I. Perrin, of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The young couple lived in Vicksburg, where Melissa taught in the public schools. A few days after their first wedding anniversary, 11th September, 1853, Mr. Perrin died of yellow fever. 1853 was the year when the fever was epidemic in the South. Mrs. Banta's recollections of that time are vivid. Her poem, "The Gruesome Rain," embodies a grief, a regret and a hint of the horrors of that season. Mrs. Sophia Fox, hearing of her situation, sent her carriage and servants a distance of twenty-five miles to carry the young widow to her plantation at Bovina, Mississippi. There she remained for two months, until her parents dared to send for her. Mrs. Fox, with characteristic southern warm-heartedness, had supplied all her needs and refused all proffered remuneration on the arrival of Dr. Mount, the old family physician. After the death of Mr. Perrin, a little daughter was born, but in a few weeks she faded from her mother's arms, and the child-widow took again her place in her father's house. For the sake of an entire change of scene her father disposed of his home and business interests in Covington, temporarily, and removed to Bloomington, Indiana."
