Note: other contributors have created separate cemetery listings for Polishville/St. Mary Polishville cemetery in Jefferson county, but unless they are merged there are splits in how certain memorials are entered.
That is why one link is made to Christena' father, in one cemetery listing, but a link is made to her mother in the other cemetery listing. The link to the father was made when this memorial was first entered, but no memorial for the mother existed at that time. Both are buried in the same cemetery, regardless of how the name of the cemetery is listed.
Some family group sheets have listed the first name as "Christine", but the obituary and headstone use "Christena".
