Note: Mariam is the name that appeared in the obituary. Earlier in my transcribing today, when I was cross-referencing for other obituaries, I ran across an obituary that had a notation added to an obituary concerning a woman with the name of Mariam or a Marian. A relative had commented that the name had been mispelled for that person's obituary and that in a later issue, the newspaper had corrected the spelling of her name.

NOTE TO RESEARCHERS THAT MAYBE THIS WAS THE "MARIAM". So be sure to check the allied surnames that are listed. I tried going back to find that particular obituary, but could not find it.
