11. | Mary Josephine Wallace was born on 23 Feb 1851 in Texas (daughter of Thompson "Finn" Wallace and Mary Etta "Polly" Vardeman); died on 24 Oct 1930 in Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
A Mary Wallice (sic) was enrolled in the District 6 School in Sabine County in 1854.
At the time of the 1910 census, Josephine was shown as being the mother of 11 children, 10 still living. It therefore appears she was not the mother of three children living with she and Elias at the time of the 1780 census, John (b. 1865) and Sydney Ann (b. 1867) and Felix J. (b. 1868).
At the time of the 1920 Federal census she was living with her youngest daugher and son-in-law, Minnie and Elmer Butler, in San Augustine County.
Her headstone reads: "Come ye blessed - She lived and died a Christian - Beloved - How we miss you."
Obituary follows. Copied from FamilySearch, Public Memory:
In memory of Mrs. Elias Clark, who went away, leaving us for a better world on October 24th 1930. She was born Feb. 23rd 1851. She was married to Elias Clark in 1870. To this union was born eleven children. They are: C.B. Clark, L.T. Clark, J.E. Clark, T.F. Clark, W.E. Clark, Mrs. Agnes Cole, Mrs. Minnie Butler, all of whom are still living. Bruce Clark, Mrs. Anna McLemore, Mrs. Mattie Chandler and Mrs. Ara Anderson, who preceded her in death. There were also three step-children: John Clark, who died in early life, Mrs. J.W. Craig, who is also dead, and Felix Clark, who still survives. She left eighty grandchildren and a host of great grandchildren.
She professed faith in Christ in early life and joined the missionary Baptist Church. She was a charter member the the Antioch Church, and was a faithful and devout Christian.
Dear Mother was kind and true, meeting everyone with a smile. She always bore her trials with patience. It was so hard to give her up, but God's will must be done, not ours. We know it was a joyful hour for her when she heard the Dear Savior saying: "Enter Thou into the joy of the Lord. You have been faithful over a few things and I will make thee ruler over many things."
What more can be said? We know that a life like this can mean only a self sacrifice and loving service with heart and hands. Such a life she performed, not one day but every day, striving to help everyone she could.
Funeral service was held by Eld. E.M. Gentry at Antioch Church and her body was laid to rest in Antioch Cemetery to await the resurrection.
Committee: E.J. McGown, L.H. Chandler and Cora McLemore
Note - This obituary was written in October of 1930 in memory of Mary Josephine Wallace Clark. Antioch Church is the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Sabine County, Texas. The cemetery is Gravel Hill Cemetery adjacent to the church property. A copy of the following poem was written below the obituary.
To that beautiful land we call heaven,
The place where we all want to be
Is a road that leads onward and upward,
And a lone weary traveler we see.
An angel is hastening to open
The pearly gates far and wide,
Bidding this pilgrim welcome,
To the joy on the other side.
Who is the traveler fair angel?
Someone's sister or brother?
Oh, no far greater than these,
'Tis someone's precious mother.
She is a mother old and gray,
And bent with the passing years,
As she toils through sunshine and shadows
And up through the vale of tears.
It has been her lot to be happy.
And then came her saddest hours.
Many a bitter weed she has plucked,
That grew in her lovely flowers.
Oh, dear tired, weary mother,
If we friends and loved ones knew
How thy loving hands have guided us,
And steered us safely through.

15. | Susan Melissa Teston was born on 23 Apr 1854 in Alabama; died on 16 May 1946 in Newton County, Texas; was buried in Tanner Cemetery, Burkeville, Newton County, Texas. Notes:
Said to be a daughter of Duncan TESTON and Lucinda HINSON. In 1930, she was living in the home of son and daughter-in-law, Sidney and Edna Cousins. At the time of the 1940 Federal census, she was living with her youngest daughter and son-in-law, Alice and G. Ott Gunter, in Newton County, Texas. She appears to have been living with them since at least 1935.
She is shown as Edna, born in Belgrade, Texas, on the death certificate of her youngest son, Sidney Bryant Cousins. This was likely just an error, as Sidney's wifes name was Edna.
