Notes for Ople Mae Figert
Her obituary and death certificate have her first name spelled as "Opal", but she and her children always spelled it as "Ople." I have copies of several letters, etc., in which she signed her name "Ople." It also appears that way on her marriage license and birth certificate. Someone responsible for the death records and newspaper notices may have "corrected" the spelling of her name to match that of the gemstone.
