  • Notes 
    • From her death notice in the Hale MO newspaper:
      She was born December 15, 1871 on a farm near Carrollton Mo (sic) - the "farm" at the time of her birth was actually a plantation known as Herndon Hill.

      She was educated in the Carrollton Public Schools, and graduated high school with the class of 1889.

      September 24, 1891 she was united in marriage with Arlie Cleveland. They resided in Carrollton for two years, moving then to a farm near Hale (Mo) where they have since made their home.

      She was a member of the Hale Baptist Church. A lady highly respected and esteemed by all who knew her. Funeral services in her memory were held from the Willis Brother's Funeral Home, Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock; conducted by Rev. E.C. Vanderpool/assisted by Rev. T.J. West of Carrollton. Interment was made in the Oakhill Cemetery (Hale?)

      Note from her Grandson Harold W. Cleveland:

      She died about 1929. I was too young to know much about her except that she was a kind and generous person to me. She was also quite strict and would brook no "sass". One of the first "big" words I learned was from her oft repeated statement to me: "young man! Don't you contradict me!" She would not allow my Granddad to smoke in the house, and was firmly set against his (or anyone's) drinking (even of a social nature.)

      One of her favorite books was a copy of Tenneyson's complete works, as of this writing (1/2/94) it is in my possession. Inside the front and back covers are penciled repeated references to Alie Cleveland made in 1888, the most telling being: "AC is the cutest boy in the United States". Though outwardly strict and proper, she obviously had depths of emotions which were rarely revealed.

      I loved her dearly!
