The graves of Mehitible Poor/Poore Severns and husband James Riley Severns are not marked. The family surname appears as both Poor and Poore through history; and, also the birthplace appears as either Ringgold County or neighboring Taylor County, IA. I have found many variations on the name Mehitable and many for her nickname including Hattie, Hettie, Hedy and others. Some come from census and other such records; others come from family members and friends who knew her.
The second-born child of James and Mehitable, daughter Emma Delia Severns, was born 12 October 1870 in Ringgold County and died 8 June 1871. The fourth-born child, daughter Bertia Severns, was born 24 December 1874 in Ringgold County and died 8 June 1875. This is according to an old family document and I have not yet substantiated either.
