Individual Details

Jason Hartsell, 79, of Stanfield has fond memories of his great-grandmother, Benona Anceline Hartsell, whom he stayed with when he was young. Benona's health declined following a fall which resulted in a broken hip. She died June 20, 1945. The mother of Benona was a Whitley. The old Whitley records indicated that Benona and her older sister, Rebecca, were buried next to their mother. Elizabeth Carolina Whitley was the 11th child of George Whitley III and Rebecca Cagle. She married Daniel Monroe Furr and with him had eight children, including Rebecca Furr, who was born in 1848, and Benona Anceline Furr, born in 1855. While Rebecca never married and her date of death is unknown, her sister Benona married Franklin Hartsell. Rebecca was buried closest to her mother, Benona buried next to her sister. At 9 a.m. Aug. 27, Jason and Virginia Hartsell, their granddaughter, Anita Hartsell Stevens, and Eldridge Furr, trustee treasurer of Liberty Hill Primitive Baptist Church, gathered at the grave site as the markers for Benona and her sister were placed. "It pleases me that we can put up a monument," Furr said.
