Narrative

Note: Uncertainty on Leona May Brown's death date, burial, middle name.

Some online pedigrees and family trees indicate that Leona remarried after the death of her husband, Hugh Hillard Miller, to Homer Culp. There is a burial in Fairview Cemetery in Bluffton, Wells Cty, Indiana - the same cemetery in which Hugh is buried - for a Leona Miller Culp, with the same birth year as our Leona. The inscription on the stone gives only the years for her vital dates, and the listing on the FindaGrave website does not include plot location or further supplemental information to confirm.

I have not been able to find a marriage record for Leona to any man bearing the Culp surname, and the only death record I can find has a different birthdate and year, in addition to a much later death date than that ascribed to our Leona.

I have seen her middle name spelled both "May" and "Mae," though the latter seems to predominantly be on the marriage records for some of her children.
