Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. She is known here only from her father's obituary, which gives her only by her husband's name. Her father has no record here. The obituary of Vienna Osburn, released earlier, names a daughter "Mrs. Maurice F. Castleman"; no link is recorded, since this item does not name her mother.
