      Daughter May's stone in Barnett Cemetery is covered with moss or lichen to the point where only parts can be read. May is clear as is Ollie and Stewart and parts of the date and age. Her first name seems to end in "na". The year of death looks like 1890 but could be 1888 or 1889. It looks like she was 1 year but it could be 2. If Vergie was born in Dec 1888, she cannot have been born in 1889 and died in 1890. Looking at the birthdates of the other 5 children born before 1900, it is most likely that she was born between Clara and Holly. But it's just a guess.
