Notes |
- Tombstone has her DOB as 21 Feb. 1868 and DOD as 29 Sept 1943.
She made all of her own rugs. Had a room with her loom in it. She knew a lot about herbs for medicine, and Nancy Whitaker Tate would go with her as a child to gather various types of plants. NWT would help her water her plants and bug her beans.
In 1934 her house was burned in an act of arson while she was visiting her daughter, Laura Gaynell in PA. She lost everything, including family photos. Her grand daughter Rosie Whitaker Shepherd and husband Elmer lived with her. Elmer was mad at his wife, and while Rosie was out, he got drunk and set the house on fire. He was convicted on arson and sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Newton Whitaker, her son, built her a small house in front of the one that burned. [1]
