Etta and Cena were sisters

---

Thank you responding 

She was a white child

Sister of Etta

Found her and sister with her mother and stepfather deaton under 1900  Census 

No other related info on her  ...

A Deaton family member said she died 

and that my great grandmother’s heart was broken (which is Etta her sister)

I have not found a death certificate or grave.

I would like to find her resting place .

Which I know that they are in heaven together...

Any further info would be greatly appreciated

Sincerely 

Angie Jones
