Additional Comments:
I do not have the hole article.  Would love to know if the article shows where
she is buried.  I have made a profile on findagrave.com. But do not know the
cemetery.  Please if you can let me know what I missed on the obit and where she
is buried.  My link is to Johnson family of Chambersburg, Franklin Pennsylvania.

Thank you very much.  Erlene
