Mary Lee (Austell) Shelton Metcalf -
She was the daughter of Jeptha Columbus and Mary Jane (Riddle) Austell. Mary J. had first married a Mr. Watkins and had children with him. I assume Mr. Watkins died soon into their marriage and she then married Jeptha Columbus Austell - 29 Jul 1868 - Jackson Co., Alabama. By 1895, Mary J. (Riddle) Watkins Austell was dead and Jeptha Columbus Austell then married Elizabeth Jane Powers - 24 Mar 1895 - Jackson Co., Alabama. The family ended up in Ellis Co., Texas.
Mary Lee Austell, the subject of this memorial, first married Henderson Ambrose "Hence" Shelton - 04 Dec 1884 - Lincoln Co., Tennessee. Later, she married Hiram William Metcalf - 14 Jan 1917 - Lincoln Co., Tennessee.
