Are you sure that you have her married surname spelled correctly? Husband has a different spelling of Gambrell.

Also did you happen to see that her June 5, 1948 Tennessee death certificate shows the informant, William J Gambrell, indicated that Laura's 2nd given name was Hazelthine (not Hulda)? Was Hulda her nickname? The discrepancies for date of death and names may need to be updated for accuracy. Thanks for sharing and contributing to our universal tree.
