    Note that Julie Felps reports Joy under the name Joy Lavern Tugmon, as the 1930 census had her name, Joy L.  The Kelley genealogy cited above, on the other hand, reports her as Joyce Lavern Tugmon.  Her Texas death certificate has her name as Joyce Collette.

    Note that the Death Index reports that Joyce was single at the time of death, but her actual death certificatre reporeted her status as married.  This was an error in the death index.  Joyce's husband is not reported as dying unitl 1979.
