Louvena Deese lived a very short life of one year and one day. Her birth on 15 October 1889 resulted in the death of her mother, Louvena Huneycutt Deese, wife of John Calvin Deese. It also left her three sisters without a mother.
John Calvin, a farmer, was left in dire straits with a baby and 3 other daughters ages 1 through 4 years of age; my grandmother being the oldest at age 4. The two Louvena’s, Mother and daughter were buried side by side in the Cedar Creek Meeting House Cemetery, today known as Lilesvile Cemetery.
On 2 February 1892, John Calvin married Sarah Frances Gathings providing a mother for the surviving three daughters. Together they would live their lifetime together and have three additional daughters.
