In January, 1931, Tally went to stay with her sick sister, Martha CRAIG KNIGHT, who lived near Chapman, AL. While nursing her sister back to health, Tally contracted pneumonia and died at Martha's house since she was too ill to return home.  "... she died doing all she could for her loved ones, to whom she had always been so true."

Olive East Cem), occupation Farmer.  John: At an early age, John's brother, Henry, slammed a door on his right foot, causing a severe injury.  Due to the lack of medical attention, this became a permanent deformity. Because of this deformity, Dave Craig was opposed to his daughter, Tally, marrying John; he feared John could not provide an adequate living for his family. However, the couple was determined, and, since they were both of legal age they eloped. The couple did prosper, owning a large farm. Ironically, Dave Craig came to live with John and Tally later in life.
