Bessie was, according to existing correspondence, very difficultto live with, and eventually went to live with her daughters by OliverTyson. The daughters (Alice and Ruby) did not want to take care of theirmother, stating "that it would break up their homes" to have Bessie withthem. Ruby eventually did take Bessie in.
