Criswell, Ada, Birth 23 Sep 1926, Death 30 Dec 1993, Last known residence DeWitt, Arkansas, 72042; Social Security #: 432-42-1990 Issued in Arkansas
The online version of the SSDI at Ancestry.com reports the date of death as 31 December 1993. This appears to correct a mis-transcription in the earlier disk-based database.

The age for Ada May (Ada Mae) is a bit uncertain. It appears that the number first written (larger and has a line through it) was a 3. This would be correct with the birth date reported by the Social Security Death Index of 23 September 1926. But it looks like the second number written, which is smaller and more scrawly, is an 8. This would not fit. Her age in 1930 should have been 3 at census time in April.
Living next door to this family, in house #68, family #69, are Robert and Leta Criswell and their daughter Alice. Two doors from them on the other side is the one-person household of Flora Dancy, who appears to be Travis' mother, a widow.
