• Notes

  "Obituary "Melissa Ellenora Carson, the daughter of William and Aletha Carson, was born June 7, 1843, in Marion county, Mo; was married to John W Mallary at Palmyra, Mo., May 26th, 1864. To this union were born five children, four daughters and one son, all of whom survive her. She died Sept. 22nd, 1896, age 53 years, 3 months and 15 days. She joined Bethel Baptist church at an early age of eleven years and was baptized by Rev. J.T. Williams. "Seldom has death come more unexpectedly... For years she had been a constant sufferer... Just when they felt she was better and would probably be spared to them for years, she was suddenly called home...." -- Palmyra Spectator (?) This long obituary to be found in full in the Taylor scrapbook has been severely cropped here.
