In Memoriam: Mrs. Tabitha Ogilvie Rushing Landis(1820-1895)

 
Mrs. Tabitha Ogilvie Rushing Landis
Born:  June 16, 1820
Died:  October 30, 1895 at Maxwell Tennessee.
Became a Christian in early life and a member of Union Ridge Baptist Church at Rover in 1890.
She married 1st  to Milton Richmond Rushing and they had at least 3 children:  William Ogilvie Rushing, John Keele Rushing and Nancy J Rushing Hodges.

She was widowed 1889 and married Bryant Landis in 1890.  Bryant was the widower of her sister, Margaret Ogilvie Landis. I do not currently know where she was buried.  I would have thought she might be buried in the Ogilvie or Landis Cemetery, near either husband.  I believe her children predeceased her but she did have grandchildren so need to check out where they are buried.
