[10 May 1900, page 1]:
"Mrs. Dollie Wade, who was Miss Dollie Williams, has been at Trion a few days. She came up to be present at the funeral of her sister, Mrs. Lizzie Smallwood who died last week. Mrs. Wade says she had not been here in twenty years. What a difference there is in the appearance of the place between then and now. Mrs. Wade lives in Chattanooga."
