Melinda's father, Joseph, was deceased by Aug
1837, so she is living in her mother's household. Joseph died in 1837
in AL and his wife, Polly, moved with the children to Sagamon Co., IL
where she died in 1841. Melinda would only have been 6 by your
birthdate which would certainly make her an orphan.

Obituary: Malinda
Denney
Mrs. Malinda Denney died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs.A.A.Hughes
[Hattie D. Bailey Smith Lind ], in Independence, Kansas,
February 4 , 1925, aged eighty-nine years, two months and ten days.
The relatives and friends in Independence prepared the body for
burial, and it was accompanied by the daughter, Mrs. A.A.Hughes and
James W.Smith a grandson [my
grandfather] of the deceased, to Lowry City, Mo. where
funeral services were held Saturday, February 7, in the M.E. Church at
10:30, o'clock, a.m., conducted by Rev.Walker W. Long, pastor of
Osceola, Grace M. E. Church, after which the body was laid to rest in
the Mt. Zion cemetery in Henry county.
Malinda Bookout was born in the state of Kentucky, November 24,
1835. Being left an orphan at an early age she grew to womanhood
among her relatives and friends in Kentucky, later coming to North
Missouri, where she was united in marriage to Titus T. Bailey, July
15,1856, Six children, three boys and three girls were born to
this union; four of them having preceded her to the Heavenly
home. Two daughters still survive: Mrs. A.A.Hughes of
Independence, Kansas, and Mrs.Ella Purtle of Blackwell, Oklahoma.
Mr. Bailey became broken in health and with his faithful wife
and children made two overland trips with teams and wagons across the
Great Plains to the Oregon and California counties with the hope of
regaining his health. Returning to Missouri he bought and
located on a farm near Lowry City, but was soon called by death,
leaving his wife and children, who continued to live on the farm for
some time.
After the death of her husband, Titus T. Bailey, she again
married, to Henry Denney in June 1880. She was soon again widowed
by the death of Mr. Denney, since which time she resided on the Denney
homestead for awhile, later removing to Lowry City where she
continued to live for many years. Becoming aged and
weakened with infirmities she left her home in Lowry City over a year
ago and lived with her daughters in Kansas, until she closed her eyes
in the peaceful sleep of Death to awaken in the arms of the Beloved
Saviour, whom she trusted and loved so well.
Malinda Denney united with the church at an early age and
at all time was faithful, devout Christian. She was a member of
the Lowry City M.E.Church, where she still held her membership at the
time of her death. Until her physical strength failed her and she
could not easily get to the church building, Grandma Denney was always
a regular attendant and one of the valiant workers in all the
activities of church work. The greatest comfort she had during
the long, lonesome years of her widowhood was studying her Bible and
doing what she could to make her children and friends happy. Her
kind and loving disposition won her a host of friends who all
deeply mourn her departure; but we know because of her good, Christian
character she is safely at rest in the Heavenly Master's arms; and is
now free from all suffering and pain.
The immediate family to mourn her death, besides the two
daughters and grandson, James W.Smith mentioned above, consists of
several grandchildren, and the following named stepchildren:
H.A.Denney of Lowry City, D.W.Denney of Osceola and E.N.Denney of
Clinton.
