My request is for Lola Delilah (Luffman) Mumford. I do not know exactly where or when she passed away, but we think it was sometime in the early 1930's. She was born c.1909. Just thought I would check with you as we know she passed away somewhere in that area. But, have not been able to locate exactly where. So, I am just trying to knock down another brick in my wall.
