My 2nd great grandmother.
Daughter of Civil War Soldier James Madison Hysell and Catherine Rice Hysell.
Wife of Civil War Soldier Robert C. Little.
Beloved mother of Rose Ellen, James Perry, William Edgar , Charles McClellan and Wesley Strauder Little.
My cousins who have made the difficult climb to this forgotten cemetery have been unable to locate a gravestone for Elizabeth, but we are sure she is buried there with her husband. The cemetery sits precariously on the edge of a long-ago abandoned coal mine and has slowly slipped away. Few stones are standing.
She must have been a remarkable woman. She struggled to raise her two youngest children while her husband, father, and brothers all served in the Civil War. Life was never easy for her, and her death was just as painful.
She was buried on a cold snowy day in February. An older cousin recalled that a team of horses was often used to pull the coffins on a wooden sled up the frozen hillside where she and her husband were buried. The families followed slowly and tearfully behind with their little ones.
She has left behind a legacy of beautiful children whom I am sure she would be very proud of. May Heaven be everything she hoped for.
