She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Michaels and was born and reared in Fulton county. Her parents came from Indiana 75 years ago. She was born on English creek within 5 miles of where she lived and died.

Mammoth Spring Democrat, Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, November 17, 1922

Mrs. Mary Cordelia Waits, mother of Sim and Cleve Waits, and quite a number of Democratic girls who have changed their names but who remain her girls, just the same, will be 70 years of age tomorrow. She is not well and consequently the day will not be as joyous to her, to her children, nor to her multitude of friends as have been former like occasions. She was in town Saturday to consult Dr. H. B. Hull. He administered to her, and believes she will recuperate. Cleve tells us today that she has been in bed since last Saturday evening, and that he is alarmed about her. Mrs. Waits seems a mother to us, and her children brothers and sisters. When a boy we had no relatives or home; just an orphan adrift; and it was “Uncle Sim” and “Aunt Mary” Waits who threw their home open to us and treated us a one of their own children. We wish the dear old soul could live forever.

Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Davison, residents of Marvell, Phillips county, dear friends of ours, celebrated their 50^th wedding anniversary on Tuesday of this week, Nov. 14, 1922. They were married in 1872. Mr. Davison, with Martin Cole, father of Albert Cole of Mammoth Spring, located in the woods where the flourishing town of Marvell now nestles with its substantial brick and concrete business block, fine schools and churches, electric light and power and all the modern conveniences, and hard-surfaces roads. We acknowledge an invitation to this joyful event and regret very much our inability to be present.

N. D. Porter and Mrs. J. D. Jones, both Apostolic Faith preachers and A1 citizens, were married Sunday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Jones on the west side of town, Justice J. J. Brown, officiating.
