Malinda Belle DAWSONBorn Apr 20, 1875 at Clay Co., WV, died 1910 at Ivydale, Clay Co., WV, 34 or 35 years My mother's mother was Malinda Belle Dawson. Malinda married James Anderson "Jay" Rogers on November 5, 1894. It is my belief that they lived one mountain away from each near Ivydale when they first met. After their marriage they lived on top of one of the mountains surrounding Ivydale farming as best they could to support their seven children. The area they farmed is remote even today and very difficult to reach by vehicle or on foot. Malinda died in 1910 at the age of 34 apparently from typhoid fever and is buried in the small Rogers Cemetery on top of the mountain where she and her family lived. source: Art Friend 9.
