Discrepancies on California Death Cert used for Cemetery Records:
Birth: Given as 14 Aug 1868 but she was born in 1847
Social Status: Noted as Separated but her husband, Arlington Benton Nix died in 1883 and in the 1900 Logan Co. Arkansas census she stated she was divorced. Thus they may, indeed have either separated or divorced sometime around 1883 after Ollie Benton was born. On the 1800 Logan Co. Census Selena and Arlington are together as "married".
Even with these discrepancies, the death cert names the correct date of death as 22 Dec 1924 in San Bernardino Co., CA and notes her parents to be James English born in Georgia and mother Sarah Parkin/s (should be Rankin/s) born in South Carolina.
