Your story was okay with the spelling of Mabel as that is the original spelling, but the last name is what I was looking at: Berg is correct. You might want to check with the daughters.

RE: THE OBITUARY FOR FERNE MINEART: It is nicely written, but with two mistakes. Ferne Mineart has two living sisters. One, not listed is Darlene Reynolds of Nashville, Tennessee. Her sister, Mable Berg's last name is mispelled. If you could make these correction, we thank you. Signed...one of the sisters-in-law.
