I found a 1910 census (the only one I found any of this family on) with Margarett Kearney shown as 55 years. Perhaps the age discrepancy is due to her telling a different age to the census taker. I believe this to be Margaret Unknown/Kearney, the mother of the brothers buried in this plot, but have no way to prove it. If you have information on this family, please contact me.
The cemetery records show this as Mrs. Tim Kearney. On the census record, there is a son named Tim J., but he is only 30 years old at the time of his death, so this can't be his wife.

Atlanta Constitution, 14 Oct 1911 page 5.
After living in this city for forty years, thirty-seven of which were spent in the house in which she died, Mrs. Margaret Kearney, aged 65 years, passed away yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the residence, 12 Pulliam street.
Complete funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but the services will be conducted some time Sunday afternoon from the Church of the Immaculate Conception, and the interment will be in Oakland.
Mrs. Kearney was a pioneer Atlantan. She has lived here for forty years, and had watched the growth of this city since it was only a village. She was a member of the Catholic church, and was well known among religious workers of the city.
She is survived by four sons, J. J., R. F., M. P., and T. J. Kearney, and two brothers, Patrick and John Murphy.
