I know that they are buried in Sunset in Danville, but have no head stones. I talked to my mom again. She said Hattie was indeed Grandma Jennie's Mom and her brother. I got confused about the grandma mom went to see. She said her name was "Pinnel" (sp) and at the time she never told anyone she went to visit her grandma because there seemed to be some strangeness in the family about her.
