 Zula and Mollie Stephenson. At Monroe's death the widow was left with these nine children and a little farm. She, by hard work and good management, gave her children a support and a good common school education. The children were reared in respectability. They were a credit to their noble, sacrificing mother. After the children were grown and married, the widow very judiciously and prudently married Mr. Ches Roberson, a respectable farmer of good means. Mr. Roberson is a good farmer and a good citizen, and was quite fortunate in capturing the wary widow of eighteen years' widowhood.
