Her death certificate erroneously records her name and that of her husband in the spaces for her parents' names. Although I have no definite confirmation, extensive research and records comparisons lead me to think that Bettie was the daughter of William Mears and Sallie Ann Bale/Bales.
Her death certificate records her date of birth as 20 Apr 1855. I have chosen to use the date on her headstone. She was buried beside her daughter Sarah "Lee" Milby on land on the Milby family farm.

Gravesite Details
She had another son named Ed who has a memorial here, too. I don't know why he is not linked to his parents.
