Updated Jul 25 2015 - Contributor Wayne Nerger is going to follow-up with his sources and look for further information to confirm that his record #115366926 is either the same or a different person than this record. Because there is no headstone and the wooden cross doesn't have complete information it's not certain that this is Mrs. Lou Biggar (Pettit) Rhodes. He will contact me once he has confirmed either way. As of January 29, 2017 - the two records remain - Wayne Nerger's record appears to be a duplicate of this record.
