MASSEE DEAD - "The law of her God was in her heart. They twain shall be one. Her husband is known in the gates. Her children rise up and call her blessed." The above extracts from the Bible epitomizes Laura Jordan Massee's life. > A very long and wonderful description of the life of Mrs. Massee by her Brother-in-law, Andrew P. Reeves of Cuthbert, Ga. > [Note: According to the Massee Family History, Oliver Jerome Massee Born 5-3-1849 - Died June 7, 1915 and married on October 27, 1868 to Laura Isabelle Jordan - Born April 17, 1852 - Died November 22, 1913. Born to them were 4 sons Marion Howard Massee, Oliver Jerome Massee, Jr., William Jordan Massee, Thomas Drew Massee and Laura Carson Massee Walker. - They lived in the Massee Lane House built by Capt. Needham Massee, raised their children there, and since I find to Cemetery Markers for them in "Cemeteries of Macon County", I feel that they are not buried in the Marshallville Cemetery but in the Massee Lane Cemetery that was at one time a fairly large cemetery but now contains only two markers. Those markers are for the Grandparents of Oliver Jerome Massee and they are: Needham Massee Died 7-22-1859 at 80 yrs. of age. & his wife, Sarah Massee, Died October 12, 1850.] > [Note: She was very instrumental in making architectural plans for the new brick Marshallville Baptist Church after it burned in 1911. Her sons helped to carry-out her ideas.. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/MaconObits?admin> > >
