In 1880, Bessie was living with her step-brothers Willie & Flora at the home of Thomas & Ella Dusing. Bessie married her cousin Camby "Box" Stottlemyer about 1894, and at least 7 children followed between 1896 and 1912. I can find no record of Bessieś exact date of death, but she outlived her sister "Sallie" who died in 1944, and was still alive in 1955 when she was the "oldest woman" attending the Stottlemyer reunion S4
