    Mrs. Sallie I. Hamilton, aged 69 years, widow of the late R.M. Hamilton, passed away at her home here at 8:45 Tuesday night [24 September 1935]. Mrs. Hamilton had been in declining health for several months.

    Mrs. Hamilton was before her marriage Miss Sallie I. McSwain and was born in this county. Until a few years ago when she moved to Rison, Mrs. Hamilton had made her home in the Mt. Carmel community. She was a member of the Methodist church, holding membership in the Mt. Carmel church for a long time.

    Funeral services will be conducted at the Mt. Carmel Methodist church this (Wednesday) afternoon with interment in the church cemetery. Services will be conducted by her pastor, the Rev. J.G. Gieck, with the Rev. M.E. Scott of this city assisting.

    Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. R.A. Word of Camden and Mrs. A.A. Ryburn of Mt. Carmel; two sons, G.M. Hamilton of Rison and Lon Hamilton of the Mt. Carmel community, and 12 grandchildren.

    Pallbearers are as follows: Craig Sadler, Dr. F.J. Robertson, George H. Holmes, Jas. G. Mosley, R.M. Culpepper, Tollie Rhodes, Henry Randolph, and "Red" O'Keiff of Pine Bluff. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Rufus T. Buie.

    The obituary above, dated 25 September (Wednesday) states that death occurred on the previous Tuesday, which would be 24 September 1935.  Yet the Find-a-Grave memorial reporting this obituary gives the date of death as 21 September, which was the previous Saturday.  I have not seen a photo of the gravestone and can find no transcription of the cemetery.  Could the grave have a different date of death than that reported by the obituary?
