From Geraldine Lunday Dec 1 2006: Mother feels sure she was born in 1916, though her school records show 1917. She went to live with her sister Eva in Washington, DC, but she was in school when she did that. When she returned, Grandma gave them the wrong year. It was never corrected.
Died Friday, August 22, 2008 approximately 7:30 p.m. at the home of her daughter, Geraldine Lunday, where she had been living for the past year and a half. Funeral was Sunday, August 24, 2006 at Bluff Springs Baptist Church in Ashland, MS. Funeral arrangements were made by Holly springs Funeral Home, Holly Springs, MS.
