(Parent information by Find A Grave Contributor:Ken Hollingsworth #48742804) Aunt Kate was born in 1897 - not 1895. The head stone is unreadable to confirm this with the second marker placement in front of the hand-made marker with the dates. I am basing my date from family records, which shows a brother born in 1895, just 7 months prior to Kate's birth date. Also, to corroborate this, her posted Obit gives her date of death in 1937, and states she was 40 years old, making the birth year 1897. Ken Hollingsworth
