b. 1892 in Arkansas (date on headstone is incorrect)
d. c1912 in Algoa, Jackson Co., Arkansas
Belle Phillips married William "Willie" Henry Linn on 19 March 1911 in Weiner, Poinsett Co., Arkansas. I do not know who her parents were.
Willie died in 1912 as a result of a logging injury. Belle was pregnant with their first child but she and the baby died in childbirth in 1912 after Willie's death. Belle is buried next to Willie in Walker Cemetery.
I have a picture of Willie and Belle on their wedding day and she was a very pretty woman.
*My dad told me that he and his brothers purchased the headstones for some of his family members, including his Uncle Willie and Aunt Belle and his Uncle Charles Linn. They were not sure of some of the dates which is why Belle's birth year is incorrectly listed on her headstone as 1880 (she was born 1892). They also did not have the year of her death at that time.
