McCauley Fessey-Elliott was born at Sailor's Rest in Montgomery county
in Sept. 29, 1896 and died June 5, 1993 and her remains buried in
Westland, Michigan next to her husband, the late Robert James Elliott
originally of Bumpus Mills, Tenn. Callie and Robt. Elliott had
two daughters, Elma Frances and Ann Finley.
Sam Ogburn Fessey is one of 5 (I think) children of
the late William Henry Fessey and Annie Walker-Fessey, both of whom are
buried in the Antioch Methodist Church cemetery. Samuel Fessey had one
brother, Gabriel Russell Fessey and three sisters.
Sam and Maud Fessey lived in Palmyra all their lives
and were involved with the community. Sam was a bible school teacher of
45 years at the Methodist Church there and also was Postmaster for a
time in Palmyra. Maud was a homemaker. They owned about one or possibly
two acres land which they cultivated for their family. Sam's ancestors
were from England, Maud's were from Scotland. Her daddy was Mordy
McCauley (or perhaps, McAuley). His remains are interred in the Myers
Cem. at Tarsus.
