Note: Although the obituary states that Grace was buried in Evergreen cemetery in Fairfield, she was actually buried in Old Fairfield City cemetery in Lot 145. There are several ADKINS burials on that lot, but it isn't clear what, if any, relationship they would be to Grace. Her husband, Alva HENDRICKS, is buried in Evergreen cemetery in 4th.051, which has several TWEEDY family burials.

Also, the obituary uses the surname "MULINIX", while other Jefferson county genealogy sources use "MULLENIX". Not sure how to reconcile these two variations.

The following is from an obituary clipping that was provided to this contributor for posting. The source of the publication could not be located but it appears to have been published on the date of her death. It uses the "MULLENIX" surname spelling, it should be noted:
