Daughter of Dr. Charles and Margaret Bartlett. Died in 1879 of Typhoid Fever. She was 11 years, 10 months, and 1 day old. She died in the basement of her home in Parkersburg, West Virginia and is buried next to her parents. Her father was a well known dentist who ran his practice out of his home. Her bed was in the basement to help keep her cool due to the heat of the season.
It is said that her ghost haunts her home and a man considering buying the family home in the 1970's snapped a photo of the basement where Bessie died and it appears that her image is on the basement wall. Decide for yourself.
