Note 1: Another source has another name, Arizona Lawter. HELP!?
Note 2: Feb, 2008: A previous source gave the death of Etta Pope as 1902 and therefore the children would have been with Mazelle E. Gilbert. However, Etta Pope's headstone -- a single stone shared with David Miller Lawter -- shows her DOD as 1982. Therefore, the children must be with David and Etta.
