Yes, I think you are correct. I was finally able to find Beulah's obituary and she was a teacher there. When I called the local cemetery the gentleman who answered the phone had also been her student . So even though her grave was not listed in their computer system he was able to recall she was buried there. It was a stroke of luck because I found out that Beulah paid for the graves of her mother (my missing Ida May) and her mother's sister (another missing link in my search) both of whom were also buried in the local cemetery. Oddly enough, Ida May's husband and daughter, Mildred are buried under the name, Matheny. Ida May and Beulah are buried under the name Mathena. The obituary for Beulah states that she had a niece, Shirley Pierce and a foster-daughter, Rosemary Hillam both of whom I can not find further information on. I had asked the local newspaper about the obituaries for her mother and aunt, but they said they are too old to get them easily. Thank you for the email address. Maybe they can help me!
