Her death cert. lists her age as 89 & her occupation as a midwife. Dr J A McHaffey signed the cert. & W N Hughes was the undertaker. She was buried 9-27-1911.
From family sources, she came in a covered wagon to Ky through the Cumberland Gap from Va at age seven or eight. They had two cows & two horses tied to the tailgate of the wagon. Another story passed on of her was - she rode a horse, side-saddle, from Big Hill, Ky to Green Hall, Ky carrying a turning plow in her lap. She was a well-known mid-wife in the surrounding area of her home through her adult years, delivering many children. She died at the home of her granddaughter, Narcissis "Bowles" Strong four days after delivering her last baby
