      Although her death record states burial location as Powell Cemetery, her grave is reported here as being in the Wolverton Cemetery. Regarding the Wolverton Cemetery, the author states that it "was started after the small cemetery beside the Victory Baptist Church Cemetery was filled. Sometimes referred to as the new Victory Baptist Church Cemetery in the West Union Record. Also referred to as the Powell or Victory Cemetery in the WPA 1933 reading."
