She was a member of the Loudermilk family, a well known and old established family of Lewis and Marion counties, following her marriage to Mr. McLeod, the couple lived for a long number of years on a farm north of Palmyra.

MEMORIES
Aunt Susie was the first of Uncle Hugh's wives that I remember--and that memory is quite faint. I can just recall her trying to amuse me at her house with a pull toy and telling me over and over that it belonged to Ronnie. I gained the impression that I was supposed to be honored to touch his things!
