Annie Bell Hatchett

On June 26, 1912, Edward Black Hatchett was married to Annie Belle Strader, a daughter of Ulysses J. Strader. She was born and reared in the Hiseville community. Her father was a prominent farmer of that community and represented his district in the State Legislature. He also served many years as clerk of the Rock Springs, and later of the Hiseville, Baptist churches. His father, Dr. Daniel Walker Strader, was a pioneer physician, and was a soldier in the Confederate Army. Mrs. Hatchett's mother was Elizabeth Bryan, a relative of William J. Bryan, the "Great Commoner." Mrs. Hatchett recalls a visit that the presidential candidate once made with her mother's brother, James L. Bryan, in Glasgow, bringing Mrs. Bryan and their three children with him. Her great uncle was "Judge" James Bryan of Glasgow, a partner in the firm of Bryan and Cheek, merchants. "Judge" Bryan was distinguished by the fact that he wore a high silk hat at all times and on all occasions. Mrs. Hatchett is also related to the late Samuel Clemens, who wrote under the name of Mark Twain. Mrs. Hatchett became a student at the Tennessee College for Women at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and later became a member of the faculty of that institution, continuing there until marriage. Aside from her duties as a wife and mother, she has also taken an active part in church work and is a past president of the Barren County Home Makers Club.
