Obituary in the Bolivar Free Press Thursday, 29 Apr 1886 said:
"Mrs. Susannah Venable, widow of the late Rev. Louis Venable, died at the home of her son-in-law, L. W. Farris, a few miles from town, Tuesday evening. She was seventy-xxx years of age, and had been a resident of the county for many years." The microfilm wasn't good at this point and the age looks like 3 letters - two or six. Possibly a five as it definitely looks like an "i".

She shares a 4-sided stone with her husband and it says: "Susanah wife of Rev. Lewis Venable Died Apl 27, 1996 Aged 75 ys 2 ms 4 ds". That would make her birth date 23 Feb 1811. Photo of stone in possession of author.

It is entirely possible that the last two children are not really hers, but bastards of her daughters. Her age makes it unlikely they are hers.
