Event Notes Note (1) Although her death record states place of death as Wick, Tyler County, it is likely that it was actually at her residence in nearby McKim. Note (2) Although her death record indicates burial at McKim Cemetery in Wick, and her obituary states that "Funeral services will be held at McKim," a transcription of burials in the McKim Cemetery at the Tyler County Cemeteries website does not show her grave as being there. Rather, there is a marker reported for her and her husband in the Freeman-Coleman Cemetery at Crystal Lake, West Union. Note (3) Middle initial appears as C in census, but S on headstone.
