*There are several problems in this paragraph.  
 Effie had seven daughters & step-daughters: 
 Lizzie Mae (JOYNER; Mrs. Rbt. Allen) RAIFORD was actually her step-daughter; 
    she & Allen are buried in Annex 3, Section B, Plot 68A.  Several of their 
    children & her mother are buried a JOYNER family cemetery (VIII-31). 
 Daughter Mary George married Emmett RAIFORD; they are buried in Hollywood 
    Cemetery, Newsoms. 
 Daughter Mae lived in Norfolk; the obit ("Tidewater News," Oct. 27, 1966, 
    p. 6; q.v.) of her sister Ruby Bell (JOYNER; Mrs. Albutt L.) GARDNER 
    gives her surname as BONADITA, rather than VONAVITA.
