  • Lucie Campbell Lee wrote in her memoir "Samples" :
         (following sister Mattie's wedding) "Such a lonely place 'Rest Haven' is without my 'Sissie' who gave me all the 'mothering' I ever had! Mother still tearful and Sister Annie gone back to Sam Houston Normal where she was unwittingly being moulded into a teacher. . . . A sudden call came to her to go, a terrible blow to us all. As quick as that, she was no more. Under the old oak trees, among the older members of the clan in Montgomery County, her lovely body was laid, long, long, ago." [Note that the institution in 1875 was Austin College.]
