Jenny's headstones (she has two) show her death date as 15 May 1948, The Alabama Death Records shows her death date as 15 Feb 1950. The Anniston Star, dated 17 Feb 1950, indicates her death date as 16 Feb 1950. Her headstones show her birth year as 1884. Her obit shows her age as 68 which would make her birth year 1881, which is what my research shows.

partial obit

*Please note that the burial site stated in her obit is not listed in Find A Grave so I thought Jennie may be buried with her parents in the Laskey Cemetery. On 28 February 2015 FAG member Cindy Nichols 47677015 informed me that Jennie is buried in Bethlehem Methodist Church Cemetery. ***Please note that there is another Jennie Gunter buried here as well with a death date of 15 May 1948.
