An excerpt from the article:

"Jessie Seaboalt, age 70, is a county girl. Born and raised in Rice, (graduated from Rice High School) she went to work at Leggett and Platt, married Dale McAdams (in First Baptist Church in Rice, Texas 1953) and had a son. When the boy was just two, Dale was killed in a car crash and Jessie's sweet, happy world came to a halt"
"After a couple of years, a boy she had known in school, Ken Seaboalt, came back into her life and after a few months they were married. My family and friends said they didn't understand how I could have found two such wonderful men in one lifetime to love me", she said. Ken already had a daughter and in addition to Jessie's son, they have a daughter together."

The newspaper article goes on to tell about her career of home child care, which includes children and grandchildren of the children she started with. It is a very nice article. I have several pictures of Jess Mae Bell that I could add to the article if needed as she is my first cousin.

Please note the text in parenthesis is my addition--and not in the article.
