The picture below of Henrietta (Nettie) Lee Watson Cariker Stephenson was the first wife of my grandfather, Samuel Walter Stephenson (PA). Pa and Nettie were married on 16 or 18 April 1902 and they had one child, Maggie Lou Stephenson. Nettie Lee was the 2 nd wife of William Walter Cariker, Pa’s first cousin. William Walter’s first wife was Nettie’s older sister, Fannie Jane Watson. Fannie (7 Feb 1872 – 22 Feb 1894) died of malaria leaving behind two children—Henrietta Cariker and Freda Gertrude Cariker. William Walter Cariker and Fannie Jane Watson were married on 23 Aug 1890. Nettie Lee Watson and William Walter Cariker were married on 29 Sep 1894 and they had three children—W. Maynard Cariker, Walter Ray Cariker, and Minnie Delcemia Cariker. William Walter Cariker died (17 Mar 1869 – 29 Jan 1901) probably of malaria also. Malaria, or swamp fever as it was often referred to, took many lives during the turn of the century in that area ( McCrory, AR).
In 1903 Nettie died and a few months later her daughter, Maggie Lou Stephenson also died, both probably of malaria. It is my opinion that Maggie Lou Stephenson is buried in the Stephenson Cemetery on the family farm. After Nettie died her children went to live with her side of the Watson family. They also wanted to take Maggie Lou but Pa refused, letting his sister, Edna Stephenson Hargis keep her. As noted earlier Maggie died within a few months and also two Hargis children died, one 1899 and the other 1906. Both of the Hargis children are buried in the Stephenson Cemetery and this gives me additional reason to believe that Maggie is buried there, too.
