Please refer to North Carolina Death Certificate #18106 Arie Fore Christopher, age 82, widow. This document lists her burial place as Rocky Mount Memorial Park.
There is no spousal link on this memorial because it appears Rufus and Arie separated sometime(maybe divorced?) after the 1920 federal census. Arie reported her marital status as "widowed" on both the 1930 and 1940 federal census reports and also on other records such as city directories. Research at this time has located no records for Rufus after 1920 until his burial data in Florida.
