"Wife of John Mays; daughter of Jeff Creed and wife."Note: It appears the death date on her grave stone may be in error. Her death certificate, though poorly annotated, indicates death occurred on Christmas Day, 1926 with burial the next day by Joe Brown of Ladonia, NC. Floyd Mays served as the informant but there is no attending physician's name or cause of death annotated. Oddly, the document wasn't filed by the County Registrar until June 3, 1927."
