    • The obit. for a baby girl who is the daughter of Booker Reynolds and died August 14, 1912 may be the same child who is buried in Oakes-Reynolds Cemetery with the wrong parents. I can't locate a death certificate for Ruby E. Reynolds born December 1, 1911 and died August 14, 1912. dlozano 7/9/2017
