Bessie loved her husband, Tom, dearly and was completely devoted to him 
from my own recollections. She was a sweet lady and I will always remember 
her with great fondness. I can only recall my 2nd great Uncle Tom being a 
kind man, but very ill when we visited him in 1973. I was 10 years old when 
he died. Tom was the son of Anna Elizinia Rollins and John Henry Doyel.
