SPILLMAN, Mrs. A. T., Beeville Bee, 21 Jul 1899:

The Messrs. Burrows received a telegram Wednesday morning announcing the death of an aunt, 
Mrs. A. T. Spillman of Falmouth, Kentucky, while on a visit to relatives in Attica, Indiana.  
She had reared her nephews, their mother having died in their early childhood, and the news was 
as much of a bereavement as if she had been their natural mother.
