Daughter of Walter Warshum Batey and Eliza Evaline Gober. Married Felix Harrelson McLemore on 13 October 1866. Isabella died from complications of the birth of her 9th child. Isabella was 39 years old.
"Mother died in childbirth. I was sent into her room, told Isabella's time was near and it was time to say my goodbyes. A hard rain fell that night. I could hear my father and my brothers building her coffin. The hammering of nails was present all through the night. I will never forget looking out the window the next day, mother's coffin loaded on the wagon. I had to stay behind and watch the younger children, but I will never forget watching the wagon leave with mother, her newborn infant, her coffin on our wagon, the rain still pouring." Story told by daughter Mollie McLemore Littlefield.
