We have no death date of any other information, but believe she was buried in Jamestown, Indiana, as that is where Uncle John's body was taken for burial. Per Elma McCoy Bryant: Mother and dad attended his funeral; Jennie and husband attended my father's funeral March 25, 1931, and in the early 1930's she and sisters Lillie and Tillie visited my mother. We wrote for awhile after mother's death in August of 1948, but have not had word of any of the family since the early 1950's. Obituary, newspaper and date unknown John B.
