One of Elijah and Lucy's children, Naomi, always called "Aunt Omie" never married. She still lived on the old place with her mother, the small, spry Lucy who was 85 but refused to get old. Aunt Omie was greatly loved by Jim and
Marilda's children. For years they had gone to her with their joys and sorrows where they were sure of finding love and sympathy. As the family came West from South Carolina and never returned to Virginia, Aunt Omie afterward sold the furniture in their home and used the money at a time when she badly needed it. This dear old Aunt lived to the ripe old age of 90 and was buried at Valley View Cemetery near her old home in Washington County, Virginia.
