Bio
Mary's burial in Fairview Cemetery is a probability that is not yet supported by any written records or the finding of a grave marker. There are, however, many unreadable grave markers in Fairview Cemeter as well as graves missing markers. Mary has an obituary in a Van Buren newspsper. Mary's mother-in-law, Nancy Burleson Frederick, has a marker documented by Find-A-Grave. Mary died in 1890, only two years after Nancy's death in 1888. It seems unlikely that John Winston Frederick would have selected a city or cemetery other than Fairview for his wife. Although Mary was born in Georgia, her mother moved her and her three brothers to Union Co., Mississippi, either during the war or just after the war to live with Mary's maternal uncle. The uncle was recently widowered and needed help with his two daughters. Mary's mother, Sallie Bond Thompson, was also a recent widow with the death of her husband in a northern prisoner of war camp in 1862. Mary wedded John Winston Frederick, the son of a farming family in Tippah County, just south of Union County. John was a young attorney who moved his wife and new son to Van Buren, Arkansas sometime around 1888. Making the move to Van Buren, were John's brothers, their wives and families, and his mother, Nancy. In a letter to her brother back in Mississippi, Mary expressed her unhappiness with her new residence city. Much of this unhappiness, however, may have been due to her suffering with "consumption", as disease that caused her death in 1890.
