Tenn. Certificate of Death 2010 - Lou Ella Hackett. Died 13 Jan 1944 in Smith Co. Rural 4th District; and was buried 14 Jan 1944 in Dixon Springs, Smith, Tenn; Dixon Springs Cemetery. The certificate states she was 84 years, 6 mos 6 days when died yet says she was born July 7 1858 in DEKALB Co. The headstone dates are 7 July 1858 NOT 1859. I believe 1859 is correct. Subtract 84 from 1944 and you get 1860 so 1859 would be correct year of birth. Anyone else agree with me?? Lou Ella is a widow at time of death and husband listed as Henry Hackett, deceased. Lou Ella listed as d/o William Petty b in NC. and Elizabeth Dunlap b in South Carolina. (Any disagreements re their birth places?) The informant on the certificate is that of Low Hackett of Riddleton. Please let me know if this info is of value to you...if not, I will refrain from putting on the site. (Some have listed her as Lou Etta...I will use Lou Ella). Thanks Melba
