Relatives have described Becky as having red hair; that she dressed in neat dresses with petticoats and bonnets. After she grew older, she was blind or almost blind (probably with cataracts.)
Uncle Jim said that he and his father (Dan Hallford) made arrangements for Rebecca's funeral.
It is said that there is only a slab on her grave and there was a wooden marker (which no longer exists). And was buried at the front of the cemetery next to a fence which no longer exist. She is buried in Good Hope Cemetery, Covington County, Alabama.
