Obituary for Nacy A. Fewell:
FEWEL, Nancy A. AVERY - 1830 - 1901 Sardis North/Tebo/Henry
Mrs. N.A. Fewel is dead. But the face in the coffin almost wore a smile and looked so pretty to the children gazing on it for the last time on earth. Seventy one years had touched her lightly and showed a calm beauty and serenity. She was born in Morgan county, Mo. March 12, 1830 and raised on the Avery homestead near Sardis, fifteen miles north of Clinton in Tebo township, and was one of eight children. One sister, Mrs. Susan Roberts of Durango, Colorado, and A. C. and J. M. Avery are the only survivors. Married to Richard B. Fewel in 1850 and he died in 1880. Nine children, all living except the eldest, Orlando. Henry lives near Leeton; Dr. Dick Fewel at Montrose; Mason, at Windsor; Green, on the homestead in Johnson county; Mack in Calhoun; Walter, the youngest, at Fort Worth. The daughters are Mrs. T. S. Wallace of Clinton and Miss Hattie, who resides with her. 21 grandchildren. Paralysis was the fatal malady.

Nancy married Richard Benjamin Fewell, son of Mason Conner Fewell and Malinda Lindsay Wall, on 23 Sep 1850 in Henry Co., Missouri. (Richard Benjamin Fewell was born on 1 Sep 1827 in Rockingham Co., N.C. and died on 24 Feb 1880.)
