Opps, missed one picture .... well this gives me a chance to tell you about this wonderful lady.. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Owens Barrett was the second wife of Jacob Zolliecoffer Sheats.
Zol's first wife Sudie S. Gorden gave birth to 7 children in the span of 1886- 1896, with her first being twin girls. One baby girl died an infant death. Sudie herself died one year later in 1897 leaving 6 children between the ages of 2-12 without a mother..
Zol married "Lizzie" in Jan 9, 1898, and she took on the the job of mother to all 6 children. She then had two of her own. When her sister died givng birth to twin girls with mother and one twin dying, Lizzie took the other twin girl to raise as her own. I think she is quite a women. All of her children loved her dearly.
