Bio
Daughter of John DYER JUSTICE and Sarah NETTLES. Married Jesse Madison Taylor on Aug 9, 1853, at Jobe, Oregon Co., MO. FYI: 3 JUSTICE sisters married 3 TAYLOR brothers. ∼ A remembrance from granddaughter, Bernice SCONCE FOULKE, states: "I remember my Grandma Betsy TAYLOR's death well, 2 January 1916. We lived at Ravenden Springs, Arkansas, a deep snow on the ground and mother in bed with the flu. My Aunt Leonia Marriott lived at Ravenden Springs too. No telephone service between Myrtle and Ravenden Springs, but news came that Grandma had pneumonia and Aunt Leonia rode a horse sidesaddle to be with Grandma and Grandpa. Finally when we could get no news of Grandma, Mother [Aunt Zudie] got out of bed and Dad [Uncle James] started with all of us in a hack to Myrtle in a deep snow. Somewhere up toward Farewell [MO], we met Aunt Leonia with news that Grandma was already buried." She also remembered that "Betsy was a kind and patient lady, very submissive to her husband. She could shoot a chicken hawk or a squirrel, could card wool, spin, and knit. She would weave carpets on the loom she once used to weave cloth. She liked to gather herbs for medicinal purposes, gather wild greens, or search for a turkey's nest." ∼ Their children were: John Jefferson (Died as Infant) (1854-1854) James Elijah (1856-1935) William Thomas (1859-1925) Nancy C. (1862-1896) Mary Angeline (1865-1944) Margaret L. (1868-1959) Matilda J. [Tilda] (1870-1962) Missouri A. [Zudie] (1874-1949) Carolina Arizona E. [Zonie] (1877-1918) Martha S. E. (1886-) Leona [Leonie] Elizabeth (1890-1972) ∼ John D. Justice Probate William Nettle to Affidavit estate of John D. Justice State of Arkansas County of Randolph I William Nettle do solemnly swear that the value of the estate of John D. Justice, decades who died intestate and upon who's estate I have prayed letters of administration, is not to the best of my knowledge and belief more than six hundred dollars, who's only heirs are one son and five daughters, viz Sarah C. Stogsdale who resides in Green County, Missouri; Jefferson, Margaret, Mary, Elizabeth and Matilda Justice, who resides in this county. That I will make a perfect inventory of and faithfully administer all and singular the goods and chattels rights and conduits of the deceased, and pay his debts as far as the assets which may cone to my hands will intend and the law direct, and that will account for and pay over according to law and assets, which should come to my hand or p******ion, so help me God!
