My Petty Genealogy part 13

I like a little human interest stories embedded within genealogical research. It makes the reading more interesting. Of course, most of these stories are tragic, and I'm sure the least thing these distant relatives had in mind was to amuse a future family researcher.

I put in bold font what I found interesting in this segment.

Notes for MILDRED PETTY:
Mildred was a highly refined Christian woman. The family did not approve of her marriage, evidently he was not ready to settle down, family had to help financially. Because of bad feelings (her brother killed her husband) she never associated with the Petty's and she did not claim her share of her father's estate.
