The Wellington Leader April 24, 1947
Mrs. M. L. Scivally of Dodson, wife of a pioneer West Texas teacher and preacher, died Thursday, April 17, in St. Joseph's Hospital, following an illness of seven weeks. She was 87 years of age and for 47 years had resided in this area. For the last three years she had made her home with a daughter Mrs. R. J. Holland at Dodson. Born at Marble Hill, Tenn., December 3, 1859, Mrs. Scivally was 87 years, four months and 14 days of age at the time of her death. She was before her marriage Miss Fannie Victoia Wiseman, the daughter of Robert and Mary Smith Wiseman, both of whom were born in that state.
She grew up in Tennessee, and was married there on June 21, 1882, to the Rev. M. L. Scivally, then a young school teacher at Sunset, Texas. Shortly afterward they came to Texas and Rev. Scivally was for 21 years a teacher in the schools of Montague county. He was then ordained a minister in the Baptist Church and continued to serve in this work for the remainder of his life. During these years, he was pastor of various churches in Texas and Oklahoma, including those at Hollis and Gould.
She had fitted herself well for her life as the wife of a teacher and preacher, and at each place she lived she left behind many who remained her life-long friends. Gracious and friendly, she did what she could to make life pleasant for those about her; and her sympathy and understanding helped to lighten the problems and cares of many. It was the feelings of these who had known her so well that were expressed by one friend recently, when she said, "She was like a mother to all of us."
Mrs. Scivally remained active until she became ill, and in spite of her advanced age continued to take a part in the work of her church until only about a year ago. She had been a member of the Baptist Church since she was 21 years of age. At the time of her death she was a member of the Arlie Church.
Mrs. Scivally is survived by six children, W. S. Scivally of Canadian, Mrs. T. L. Davis of Memphis, Mrs. Nora Lewis, Mrs. R. J. Holland, and Bob Scivally of Dodson, and Mrs. E. V. McClendon of Loco. Thirty grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren also survive.
Her husband preceded her in death on August 4, 1926, as did her oldest son, Emerson Scivally, seven years ago.
