Lola was handicapped, and did not have any arms or legs. She was killed when she fell off the front porch onto a stick which fatally stabbed her.

From Sister, Grace:

"Lola was one year younger than me and was cripple, born that way, never talked or walked, just a vegetable. She sat on the floor all her life in a corner. My mother had to feed her very soft food just like a baby. And diapers! She was a pitiful thing. If my mother wanted to go to another church except Piney, we had to take her in the car or carriage, and people would gang around her and say to other people, "Come see the idiot"! Oh, that was so embarrassing to me and Lee, and we would beg Papa and Mama to hire Aunt Malissa to come stay with her."
