Notes

At present there are two FindaGrave memorials, with all the same details. One memorial also points to Mabel as one of Rhoda's children. One has two clear photographs of the headstone (which Rhoda shares with her husband); other record has no photographs, so I believe the first one is the correct cemetery. I provide both links for reference until the duplicate is resolved (message sent to FindaGrave regarding the duplication 22 Jun 2018):
