Daughter of Fred Hempstead and Elizabeth Akers Dunkel per cemetery notes.
However, new information received on August 29, 2017 shows that the family surname was actually "Hemsted"; obviously an easy phonetic spelling variation that could show up in obituary and other sources.
Have accepted parent relationship links and maiden name change per edit request, accordingly.
