Note: The obituary was published on Nov. 8, 1945 and refers to her death "yesterday", which would be Nov. 7, 1945. Other sources use Nov. 6, 1945
for the DOD. Not certain if the information supplied to the Ledger was written and supplied on the 7th or 8th, resulting in the DOD off by one day.

Buried in Lot Old.P.108 with husband Charles A. who died in 1948.
