Accoding to www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ky/woodford/obits/wiley/aw17.html, she
and her son killed in a car wreck. She was described as Mrs. Rosetta Trimble Sawyer
Parton, 58, so I'm guessing after Isaac died she remarried. Yes, because per Ky Birth

Six Persons Killed When Auto
Hits Tree Near Lawrenceburg
Lawrenceburg, Ky., June 6 (Special)--Six persons were killed and two were critically
injured about 1 o'clock this morning when an automobile in which they were riding ran
off the Harrodsburg-Lawrenceburg highway and struck a tree about a mile and a half
south of this Anderson county town.
The car struck an 18-inch locust tree in the yard of Robert Hanks' home, uprooting
the tree and snapping it off 18 feet above the ground. The automobile, a 1939 model
sedan, was literally wrapped around the tree trunk and the victims of the crash were
imprisoned in the wreckage until a wrecker ripped open the body of the machine. Five
of the occupants were dead when they were removed from the car and a sixth died a
few minutes later, Coroner James B. Hughes reported. Coroner Hughes reported the
following death list:
Charles Elliott Morrison, 19, Frankfort, driver of the car.
Mrs. Rosetta Trimble Sawyer Parton, 58, Somerset.
Charles David Sawyer Jr., 35, Frankfort, Mrs. Parton's son.
Mrs. Josephine Thurman, 25, wife of a Frankfort distillery worker, Leon Thurman. (Mrs.
Thurman died a few minutes after she was removed from the wreckage.)
Mrs. Ruby Lee Gaither, about 24, Frankfort.
Roy Everett Gaither, 5, Mrs. Gaither's nephew.
Listed as injured and in a critical condition at the King's Daughters' hospital in
Frankfort were the following:
Miss Pauline Bryant, 25, of Frankfort, broken arm, fractured leg and possible internal
injuries.
Mrs. Vera Lee Wells, about 24, of Arkansas, probable skull fracture and other injuries.
According to Corner Hughes, Mrs. Parton and Mrs. Wells were visiting in Frankfort
with other members of the party. Coroner Hughes said he learned that the party had
been to a roadhouse located near the Mercer-Anderson county line and operated by
Charles David Sawyer Sr., father of one of the crash victims. The car was enroute to
Frankfort when the driver lost control on a steep hill and it crashed into the tree in the
yard beside the highway, the Coroner said, adding that the machine apparently was
traveling at a high rate of speed.
The bodies of all six victims of the crash were removed to the S. V. Gordon funeral
home at Lawrenceburg.
