When Etta Mae’s father died in 1929, her mother married Berry Abbet of Spearsville, and Etta Mae and two younger siblings grew up in that village. In Spearsville, she later courted Gurvis E. Barron, who at the time was working in his older brother Joe’s cotton gin about a half mile from there, and they married on January 12, 1936.

Etta Mae also had one surviving sister-in-law Vida Harrison, widow of her brother Emmett, who was visiting with her from Idaho during her last illness.
Those who knew Etta Mae will remember that she was a hardworking, caring, thoughtful individual who loved to cook and bake and do things for others. Whenever there was a death, she was always among the first ones to arrive with food for the surviving family members. She had frequent visitors in her home who enjoyed meals prepared with fresh, canned, and frozen vegetables and fruits from their large garden. Etta Mae contributed much to her town, community, family, and friends, and she will be sorely missed.
