Records for Louvina Smith are very inconsistent and her given name has been spelled differently on nearly every record. The Grisell Funeral Hone record below shows Lovina, her Civil War Widow's pension record has it as Lovenia, and early 1980 cemetery reading indicating she had a stone with no dates, recorded the name as Louvina . I am using the name as it might have been used on the original stone.
Grisell Funeral Home

1923-1928
Transcribed by Frank Manning.
Remains of: PETZOLD, Lovina
Record: #1368
Ordered by: Al Petzold
Age: 81
Disease: cancer
Died: 10 Jul 1925

Her birth date is also inconsistent. The 1900 US Cense record shows her birth as Jan 1847, aged 53 years, but the Grisell Funeral Home record above has her age as 81 in 1925 which would put her birth year to about 1844.
