Note: According to Tommy Dee Lott and Aunt Pauline Ott/Lott, Marbo was a terrible provider. At the time Telitha had Tuberculosis, Marbo had committed some crime that sent him to the State Penitentiary. His children never forgave him for doing this. The children went to live with Katie who supposedly was married by that time (Al was her son and he was born in 1922, so I think the story holds). Tom soon joined the Navy. The older children decided that it was best that Annie be raised by Annie Jane and John Ira Butler. Ann became bitter over this separation from her siblings. She despised M. Duncan. When he died, the children refused to have him buried with Telitha at Grove Memorial. Instead, he is buried at Forest Lawn in Dallas. On 8/16, 1999, Sam and I found Telitha's plot. It has no marker but we are going to make arrangements for one in the future. Plot maps are located in the Lott file. We found out through a gentleman working at Grove Memorial that she purchased her own plot probably aware that her illness was worsening. She did not purchase more than one which perhaps indicates that she had given up on Marbo. Her last known address is 1204 Leeway Street in Dallas. She is located in Section No. 42, 2, 4. Charles F. Whitlend and Conpare did the funeral. According to the Grove records, the expenses were paid by her estate which might mean that there is a will located with the county. It indicates that she lived 45 years, 10 months and 25 days. According to the 1900 Navarro County Census records when she was still with her parents, Henrietta is listed as having been born in August 1877. 1910 Waco City directory listed as Retta Lott (wid. M.D.) Operator of a Woolen Mill r 1019 S. 14th. 3.
