In October of 1885, a terrible tragedy struck Permelia and her family when Marshal was murdered by their own son Tom: Tom was subsequently judged insane and died in an asylum. After this blow, the family was headed by oldest son Frank, who eventually moved to Jack County. Permelia lived the rest of her life with Frank and his family.
Permelia was my mother's maternal grandmother, and something of the family mystery woman to me, for she passed when Mom was a baby and she had little she knew to say about Permelia. Still and all, I got the impression from what she did say of a quiet woman of great inner strength and an abiding faith in the Lord.
