Margaret Melinda SOMERS

   Cause of her death was Cerebral Thrombosis (Stroke).

  General Notes:

BIRTH DISCREPANCY: Various records indicate she was born on June 16th, but there is a discrepancy on the year of her birth: her North Carolina Death Certificate states 1871; Social Security Death Index states 1875; North Carolina Birth Record states 1876; and her headstone states it was in 1876. I'm inclined to believe she was born in 1876.
NAME: "Somers" was both her maiden name and her married name
1940: Living with son-in-law and daughter William and Gladys Hagood (as per 1940 U.S. Census)
