    --  Find A Grave Memorial #69223493, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=AP&GSfn=g&GSpartial=1&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=4&GScntry=4GSob=n&GRid=69223493&df=all&

    The Find A Grave memorial has the name Valentine italicized, which is the Find a Grave convention for showing maiden names.  Her maiden name, however, was Scruggs, and I have not found any indication of a marriage before that to Cosby Appleton.  Several genealogies have a middle initial of V for Gladys Scruggs. None of these have any documentation.  Perhaps Valentine was her middle name.  I have found no documentation in any official record for a middle name or middle initial V.  Her obituary and directory listings have her name as Gladys V Appleton.
