Susan Mary Frances Moreland was born on June 12, 1864, in Lamartine, Columbia County, Arkansas, the child of Robert Ambrose and Susan E. Dickson.

Her mother died just days after her birth and was buried in the Dickson Family Cemetery just outside of Waldo. Her father remarried that same year to Miss Sarah Melissa Heath. She bore him five more children by 1872.

Robert Moreland died in 1873 leaving his widow behind with little subsistence to sustain her and six children. For her benefit, Susan was taken in by her maternal grandparents, Josiah and Mary Louisa (neé Walker) Dickson in Waldo, Arkansas. She was 9 years old at the time.

At age 16, she came to Texas and lived for a time with her uncle, William Crawford Dickson, a dentist, and his wife, Martha Jane (neé Weaver) Dickson. In Waxahachie, Texas.

She married Stewart Monroe Fallis, her cousin's brother-in-law, on May 31, 1885, in Waxahachie, Texas. She had four children by the time she was 28.

She died on August 21, 1922, in Dallas, Texas, at the age of 58, less than three months after her husband and was buried beside him in Lee Cemetery in Seagoville, Texas.
