Lilly Edith Gray Update

We came across some extraordinary investigation work done by Richelle Hawks….(She has been investigating the Lilly E. Gray mystery for some time now. We added the link to her site for anyone who wants to look further into the case.

One of the interesting items that Richelle uncovered was the actual death certificate for Lilly…. One will notice that the dates and spellings are different from what is on her headstone.

Here is a copy of her obituary…
