MARY S. HAMLETT DIED MONDAY EVENING
Mrs. Mary S. Hamlett, age 78 years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. R. Moore Monday evening at eight o'clock after an illness of several weeks due primarily to the infirmities of age.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. F. Campbell Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock and the remains were interred at Harmony Cemetery. (Obit thanks to Jerry McKelvy).
There is no sexton for this cemetery with record of where she is buried. No headstone is known to exist. I searched 35 years to find her, only to discover her here, due to incorrect information provided regarding the death year. JDH (great-great-grandson)
