Correction October 1, 2013 from Connie L. Ellis:

The surname for Martins which was originally posted should be: "MARTING"

The transcription of the obituary for Elda (Fett) Bray was based on a newspaper clipping which had printed Elda's married name to Orlando as "Martins". When the names of her children were listed, they were also listed as "Martins". I did not catch that error until now.
