| 1. | Betty Ruth PETERS was born on 10 Mar 1934 in Poplarville, Pearl River, Mississippi, USA; died on 26 Nov 1998 in Bolling Green,Warren, KY, USA; was buried in Hillcrest Cemetery, Baker, LA/. Notes:
Info furnished by Sharon Alexander Bond.
....Betty is buried in Baker, LA beside her husband James Starns who preceded her in death by 17 years. Betty married him when she was only fifteen....Mother made her wedding gown and those of the bridesmaids as well as their headpieces. I was eight years old when Betty married Jimmy in the First Baptist Church in Franklinton. She was always a favorite aunt of mine and was a great beauty. She was a tiny woman who was about the sweetest girl on the planet. Life was not good to her. Janice probably has that wedding album. Jimmy's family owned the Starns' Drug Store in Bogalusa. His mother was extremely cruel to Betty....often saying mean things that made Betty cry. Mrs. Starns was a very snobby woman. I knew her when I was in high school and swore to myself that I would never be cruel or mean to any daughter-in-law of mine. When Jimmy passed away, the Starns family had nothing more to do with Betty. The children of Betty and Jimmy are all very sweet natured, but I have not seen them in about fifteen years. I did not attend her funeral, but Mom did.
