From Lucille, a descendant of Prather and Sarah (Reeves) Malott through their son Andrew Jackson Malott, in a 1996 letter to Mark Malott, drawn from the Malott family book she published in 1986.
Research note: her birth year
Her birth has been recorded as December 1863 or 1864. In the 1870 census, which counted people as of 1 June, she was 5, which means she was born between June 1864 and June 1865. That fits December 1864 better than 1863.
