Lourena married Jessie James Hamilton on the 9th of July 1884 in Jackson County, Alabama. ( Marriage License, Jackson County, Alabama; Book D, Page 401) The name on the license was spelled Jessie Hambleton and Laurany Middlebrooks. They were married at the home of Laurena's sister's home, Mary WAgner
Her tombstone said she died in 1910, but the
actual death was supposedly the 13th of November 1909, and she was buried on the 14th of November 1909. The problem with this date is that she was alive in the 1910 Census at the time she had given birth to eleven children, but only nine were living..
As she lay dieing her children were brought home from school and she called each child to her side and talked to them giving them a mothers last council.
Her son Henry Hughie Hamilton was between 8-10 years old at the time, but he recalls his mother telling him to be a good boy and meet me in Heaven. Then she died. He said his heart was so broken that all he could do was cry. When he told me this story he started to cry even at the age of 82 years old it still hurt.
