Hello Lourice, Your transcription (thanks for your efforts) of the obituary below reports a death date for Martha (Hersey) Taylor (wife of John B. Taylor) to be in May 1954. My information from the cemetery would indicate Martha ("Mattie") died in October 1954. Is the newspaper obit actually dated May 27, 1954. I'd appreciate it, if you would double check the newspaper dates.
