I discovered Camilla Smith Griffin while working on College View Memorial Park [ID 2236802] where I’ve been crawling through the woods photographing. There I found the headstone of Ruby Griffin Phillips 200810338 and her husband Obie Phillips 200601698. In researching them on Ancestry, I found the first record below---a death record for Ruby’s brother Eddie Calvin Griffin; it says he is buried at Enon. I went to Enon-Bethesda on findagrave and did not find his memorial there (forthcoming, I would think, should you want to add it), but noticed your “Camelia” Griffin there. Knowing Eddie’s and Ruby’s mom was Camilla Griffin, I wondered whether Camelia and Camilla were one and the same. They are. The other records pasted below confirm it. There are various spellings, the headstone reads CAMRLLA, sometimes it’s CARMILLA, but the most frequent in the records is CAMILLA. Concerning Camilla's birth year, the headstone reads 1876, making her 100 when she died. That's not impossible, but the records below vary: abt 1877; 9 Apr 1888; abt 1892; abt 1890; abt 1895; and abt 1888. I suggest 9 Apr 1888. Her husband, Isaac "Ike" Griffin was born 4 Jul 1881.
