Does anyone have anything about MONTRY LOFTIN? She was my husband's grandmother, married to Henderson David (H.D.) Mabe. She is buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Kinston. A very nice person went to the cemetery and took digital pictures of the tombstones and emailed them to me. Her birth: June 19, 1881 and death: Sep 24, 1918. I am looking for her parents and any siblings/relatives. They also lived in the Greenville NC area during their marriage. Thanks for any help.
