Additional Comments:
This transcription includes the typos as they appear in the actual newspaper 
clipping, and there were a few. They repeatedly misspell her last name as 
McDewell instead of McDowell (although her death certificate also has her last 
name as McDewell). Other mispelled names are those of Mrs. Hattie Pope and Mrs. 
Dolly Bishop.
