Note: Buried in Lot SDiv.2-034. The gravestone must not have been laid soon after burial, as the name and dates on it are somewhat incorrect. The child's given name on the stone is Vivian but according to her obituary and death certificate, it is Verona. Also, she was born April 19, 1924, and died June 23, 1924... NOT in 1923 as the stone is engraved. She was the daughter of Charles J. and Corrine R. LANAM HOSKINS.
