    My mother put my sister's maiden name on her grave when her husband killed her. My mom did not want to see her married name under her name

    I found an old newspaper article about this, it was a murder suicide. She was Sarah Patterson Dickerson and she was murdered by her husband Claude Dickerson. The article reads: "Claude Dickerson, a young farmer residing in Clarksville, shot and killed his wife a few days ago and then killed himself. Dickerson returned a short time ago from Oklahoma, where he failed to find employment. Returning home he was unable to get work. His wife was teaching a country school, and he waylaid her on her way from the school, shooting her and then killing himself. They had been married 3 years and are survived by a small child. " Their child was named Avis Claudine Dickerson Bendure.

    I worked up a family history for a friend who was related to this Sarah Patterson. Yes, Patterson was her maiden name. The newspaper article stated it was jealous rage on his part. They had been separated about 3 weeks, she had went back home to her parent's home. He knew her routine of walking to and from school, she was a teacher. He waited for her by the road, there was a confrontation then he shot her. So sad.....😢
    I have so many relatives buried here. My mom is from there, born in Oark.

I kept going back over that part of the video, it really nags at me for some reason. It would be interesting to find out...sometimes the older stories get a wee bit confused over the years. Especially when it is still within families, etc. Perhaps they kept their daughters married name on the stone for the sake of the baby? I seriously don't know why this gripped me; it just did.
