She was married several times in her old age. Her first husband was William Franklin Amyx by whom she had a number of children. She may have been a Smith at the time of her death. I would like to locate where she is buried. She was my grandmother's half sister. Alpha was born in Lee Co., Va. to M. D. L. and Susan Reasor Wilson. Her father was captured by Union forces at Cumberland Gap...and transported to Camp Douglas, Illinois where he died of smallpox December 14, 1864. Her mother Susan Reasor Wilson married 2nd to James Curtis Hale. They moved to Owsley County about 1880. Would like to hear from some of her family as well. Thanks Jody Sizemore
