The Ouachita Telegraph

The will of Mrs. Hasley has been probated. Two thousand dollars is
bequeathed to a son of Dr. White; $2000 to a son of Major McGuire; and the
remainder of the property is to be sold, and the interest on the proceeds is
to go one-half, each, to the Baptist church at Trenton and the Baptist
church at Clinton, Miss. The will was made before Recorder Grady in 1874.
History of Louisiana Baptists, Biographical Sketches:
"Phinetta B Hasley--Among the noble women whose names deserve to be preserved,none rank higher for consecration to the Master's service than Mrs. P. B. Hasley. She was born in Green County, GA, in 1800, and died near Trenton, LA, July 14, 1878. She was twice married; the first time to Elder Lemuel Newman, who preached for many years in Ouachita Parish, west of the river. After his death, she married Mr. David Hasley, of Trenton, who died in a few years, and left her again a widow. She never had children. The churches at Trenton and Monroe, erected entirely at her own expense, the later one of the most beautiful church edifices in the State, are monuments to her memory."
