Notes:
* I wasn't able to find much information on Emmett's girls.
* There is a Carrie Slocomb Wingart also buried at Methodist.
* Mrs Aubrey Soloman signed her mother's death certificate.
* The original Birth Certificate for un-named child (Sadie) lists Iola as the place of birth. The revised version
lists Bedias.
* Both her birth certificate and death certificate list Sadie's birth year as 1908 but her gravestone has her birth
year listed as 1909. It also names her Sadia instead of Sadie.
* I finally found information on Pearl and her obit mentions Mae PHIPPS. I don't think Mae had any children but
there is an infant at Bedias Baptist born/died in 1942.
