Notes

  • "Jamie M Butler:  'Didn’t y’all have a sibling named Rhett that died during child birth?'
    "Reid Butler III:  'Yes she would have been 68 she was 2 years older then me. She is buried in the Hamilton Grave. ... And as she died at child birth no birth certificate was issued, like she never happened.  Her name was Rhett Lee.  On a side note my sister Roxanne named her youngest daughter Leann honoring her oldest and youngest sisters combining their middle names Lee and Ann. ... Yes, she was buried in Greenwood and yes that's my sister Rhett listed in my mother's name as stillborn.  The reason she died in childbirth was the doctor's forceps slipped crushing her head'."
    --  Exchange on Facebook page of Reid Butler III, 15 July 2018

    It appears that this is the infant's burial memorial, though the name Rhett is not included.  Marcella was her mother's name.
