The obituary of Mary L. Maulsby Johnston contains numerous factual errors, including repeatedly spelling her surname Johnson rather than Johnston, stating her birthplace as Harrisville rather than Harrison County, and identifying her father as Lawrence Maulsby rather than Lawson Maulsby. Also, rather than Mary, her first name is given as Aletha, which has not been found elsewhere. - [S5] Headstone.
