Daughter Gladys WADE also buried there.  Her marker gives b. 3 Oct 1924, 
   which is problematic. 

Lucy's second husband, John Henry BLYTHE, d. 11 Jun 1922, Southampton Co., and 
   is buried with his first wife in Holly Springs Baptist Church Cemetery, 
   Cofield, Hertford Co., NC. 

Their marriage record (MB17:467) gives both as b. Southampton Co., 
   though that is questionable:
