We'll, here's what I know about Nannie Elizabeth Phillips.
On August 29, 1894 Samuel married Nannie Elizabeth Phillips, in Whitfield Co. Georgia. The marriage is on record in the Georgia Court of Ordinary: Marriage Records 1852 – 1906. The Census shows they lived in Whitfield County in 1900 and family records show them in Tennessee in 1902 and 1904 when Edgar Daniel and Ethel were born .By 1906 they had moved to Verona, Collin County, Texas.The family came to Texas by wagon.They had a goat for milk and it was the job of seven year old Vida, to lead the goat during the trip.
Nannie was born November 6, 1876 in Georgia.Sam and Nannie were the parents of seven children. Nannie gave birth to a baby on July 28, 1908. The baby was stillborn or died shortly after birth. The tombstone of the infant says “daughter” and the birth certificate on file with Collin County says the baby was a boy. Nannie didn’t recover after the birth, and died August 27, 1908. She and the infant were the first of the Worley family to be buried at the Verona Cemetery.
Nannie had tuberculosis, which was commonly called Consumption, during that time period. She would spit between the pages of a book when she coughed. She believed that when she closed the book, the germs couldn’t escape.
