Susan Elizabeth "Bettie" Willmon was born November 4, 1871, in Marshall County, presumably in the area known then as Bosharts, which is between Scottsboro and Guntersville, Alabama. She was the daughter of William Benjamin Willmon & Martha Pendergrass Willmon.
Bettie married Ephraim Monroe Guffey; and to this union was born children - William Berry, James Silas, Homer Pearl, Ernest Monroe, Roy Freeman, Flora Gladys (Pritchett), and Paul Malloy.
Bettie was the first person to receive the Holy Ghost on Gunter's Mountain, when the Free Holiness doctrine came there in 1911, under the preaching of Tom Perry. This occured on November 9, 1911. Bettie's son, Jim, also received salvation that night.
Bettie was widowed at an early age with young children still living at home. She and the children worked hard to make ends meet. She survived her late husband, Ephriam by forty-two years, yet she never remarried.
She was laid to rest at Prospect (the same hallowed grounds where she had received salvation) on January 6, 1959. Her funeral was officated by Rev. P.W. Brown.
