Note: this memorial updated June 5, 2018 with DOB correction to 1888 per inscription and parent relationship links per edit request(s).
Also,
Caution: the first name as used on the inscription was/is "Ora", and that is being used on this memorial for that reason. However, it should be noted that the obituary of her husband listed her first name as "Aura", so either that was an error in his obituary or the inscription for her was a phonetic variation, either in error or a name she used during life aside from a legal name of "Aura" (Ora May used in her own Fairfield Ia. Ledger obituary). Any clarification would be appreciated, but will use the inscription version pending any credible documentation otherwise.
Also, her obituary listed her DOB year as 1887, but her inscription used/uses 1888. Will use the inscription year 1888 pending any clarification.
Daughter of Thos. J. Gilliland and Mary E. Smith Gilliland.
