    Notes:

    Died:
    Anita was a very fast typist. She worked for Jimmy Turner's newspaper about 1978 and set the type for the newspaper on a special word processor. She would type and then take a break while the machine caught up with her.

    Later we heard she was cleaning her husband's gun when it went off. Her sister, living next door, heard Anita's baby crying and went to see why it kept crying and found her sister. The husband was reportedly at work. Nothing was ever proven regarding foul play, but no one could imagine leaving a newborn. Post Partum depression wasn't recognized back then.

    Anita married Harold Kelly, Jr. on 21 Sep 1978. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
