  The death certificate reports the name of the cemetery as Bethel Cemetery, but she was buried in Longview Cemetery, where other Emmons family members are buried.  Her married name is spelled Canon on her death certificate, but the burial names are spelled Cannon.
  
  The date of death is reported as 22 January 1928 on her grave memorial, and that is the date on her death certificate.  But the same certificate also reprots she was buried on the 23 January 1929, a year later, and the certificate was filed on January 22 1929.  The doctor just wrote the wrong year (the eyar just ended) on the death certificate.
