Fr Nena, Mollie is listed at Hallettsville City
Cemetery, but the marker only says 1917, with no day and month. By the way,
it lists Mollie Kelly's year of birth as 1838. If she died in 1917, you can
probably find the exact death date from the county clerk. She should have a
death certificate. Rox Ann
