Jennie's mother is Rebecca Aldrich Fausset Chitty Trimmell, probably buried in this same cemetery. She was born about 1838 in Indiana and died 11 Jan 1899 in Denison, Grayson, TX. She was in Jennie's home and care at the time, and all of the arrangements were taken care of in Denison.

Jennie had no known children and for the bulk of her life appeared to go by Lettie. It was only with her second husband where she became Jennie. Their families traveled a lot of the same paths, so my guess is they had known each other since back in their Kansas days.

I did not find a Texas Death Certificate for her, although I did for her husbands in 1936 and 1940.
