Notes: The birth year (1878) on Mrs. Womack's headstone conflicts with the DOB of her brother, Calhoun C. Womack and disagrees with several records, including her obituary. The 1880 census showed her age as 4 years old <1876>. Her death certificate reported her age as 77 years <1876>. The 1900 census gave her birth month/year as May (March?) 1877.
