There seems to be disagreement as to whether Easter is the first name or middle name. In an interview with Pauline in 2006, she told me that Easter was her first name. In the 1920 US Census she is listed as Easter Pauline. Clearly, throughout her life Pauline preferred to be called Pauline. There are many examples of my Arkansas and KY ancestors who only went by their middle name. It was a surprise to find out the first name as in many cases, no one ever used it.

Gravesite Details
The original Find-A-Graver who created this memorial, made it long before Pauline passed on. The difficulty is that the marker had her name, but no dod. It would be best to verify that a person has actually passed on before creating the memorial.
