She grew to young womanhood near Confidence and was married to Matthew Mackey September 19, 1871. To this union ten children were born, Mrs. Nettie Aston, who died Jan. 30, 1946; John W.

She accepted Christ as her Saviour when a young woman and dearly loved the word of God giving out many Gospel tracts and papers and tithing her income. She never grew old in spirit and even in her later years learned and recited many scripture verses and poems and could play and sing any song of which she knew the melody.
She was a kind and loving wife and mother, her whole life being one of sacrifice and unselfishness for her family.
She leaves behind her eight children, 22 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and one brother, Samuel Davis, of Princeton, Indiana and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. Orchard of Chariton, assisted by brother Tom Morlan of Russell, were held at the Woodman funeral home April 3rd at 2:00 o'clock p.m. and interment was made in the Russell cemetery.
The pallbearers were Dave Wright, Asa Price, Lloyd LaFavre, Milton Barker, Bert Hudson and Perry McKinley.
