Informant on Jennie's death certificate C.J. Wilson
(Most likely Clair John Wilson, her grandson)
Cause of death heart disease
Place of burial: Lovells Station, Corry, PA

***********************************************
Jennie may have not been buried with her late husband David (who died 24 years earlier) for this reason: David's first wife was Emily McCray. It was two years after Emily's death that David wed Jennie. David is buried with Emily in the McCray family cemetery.

From looking through Mississippi census records, Jennie's birth name may have been Mary Jane Booth.

On Pearl (Crowell) Wilson's death certificate, Clair (her son) lists Pearl's mother as Jennie Lucille Booth, this is the only time that Lucille is seen as a documented middle name for Jennie.
