    Notes:

    Birth:

         According to records of the Parish of Caddo, Louisiana, connected with her marriage to Cecil F. Fiegenbaum in 1949, Will was born in Lansing, Michigan and was 26 years old at her last birthday. Calculating from the date of the marriage and her age, she would have been born about 1922-1923.
         However, her obituary in the Topeka Capital-Journal reported that she was born on 15 June 1928 in Henry County, Tennessee. This date of birth is also reported in the Social Security Death Index.
         The resolution of these discrepancies await further research.


    Buried:
    She was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery.
