\"<divCHARLOTTE ELIZABETH GODDARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

A life long resident of the First District of Morgan County is nearing 101 years of age. She is Mrs. Charlotte Elizabeth Goddard, known to her many friends and relatives as \u201cAunt Lottie\u201d.
\nThis year Aunt Lottie will be 101. She makes her home with her only daughter, Mrs. Teresa Goddard, in Coalfield. Her husband, the late David Ezra Goddard, to whom she was married on May 26, 1881, passed away several years ago.
\nAlthough her eyesight and hearing are failing, Aunt Lottie enjoys having visitors. She recalls many incidents of the 19th century.
\nA charter member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Coalfield, she was active in the work of the church as long as she was able to go.
\nShe suffered a fractured hip in 1961 and has since been confined to her home.
\nMrs. Goddard\u2019s parents were Thomas H., and Mary Ann Langley Davis and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Davis and James and Margaret Langley, both came to this county in 1818 from Virginia.
\nThe late Sam Davis, a well known East Tennessee contractor and road builder, was her brother, and the late Mrs. Artelia Adkisson and the late Mrs. Ida Christmas were sisters.
\nShe has a grandson, Kenneth Scarbrough, and three great grandchildren, Margaret, Stephen and Joel Scarbrough, all of Coalfield.<\/p>\n

In doing some research on this lady I found that Louise Crowe of Coalfield was at one time married to Kenneth Scarbrough (the grandson of \u201cAunt Lottie\u201d) and there are several descendants of \u201cAunt Lottie\u201d who live in the Coalfield area. It was nice talking to Louise and I hope she and her children and all those related to \u201cAunt Lottie\u201d will enjoy seeing this old article. Thanks to Bill for \u2018sharing it with our readers. \u00a0[Morgan County News – [“Sharing the Past”\u00a0by Jean Pollard ]<\/p>\n
