Notes:

•  James Budd (1861-1903), Fannie's brother, held the position of circuit court clerk for Madison county. When he died, Fannie filled the role and she served in that capacity for 42 years. "Fannie used the initials F.S. Cabaniss, as it was unusual for a woman to hold the position of circuit court clerk at that time." - Archivist'sTool

•  Septimus Cabaniss's papers housed at University of Alabama including correspondences of Fannie Cabaniss. These are digitized and available online. (The digitized material can be found at the end of this page under "Cabaniss Family Materials") - University of Alabama
