Notes for Martha Elizabeth Tolliver
Her death certificate records Martha E. Goodan, age illiegible due to large ink blot, born 29 Oct 1866 in Ky, died 29 Oct 1923 in Cedar Grove precinct, Carter Co., Ky, widowed, father Finn Tolliver, born in Ky, mother’s maiden name Arlina Wyatt, born in N.C., cause of death tuberculosis, informant S. B. Goodan, Jacobs, Ky, burial in Jacobs Cemetery.
Her grave stone has her birth date as 5 Apr 1866, which seems more plausible than dying on her birthday, which was probably just a recording error.
