Maternal great grandmother information!

Question

I am looking for any information on my great grangmother Lula Mae (Hester) Thomas 1893-1952, her mother is Sara C Hester and she was married to my great grandfather Henry Clay Thomas, May 13th- Nov. 20, 1970. They are buried in Union Hill Needmore Cemetery Blanche/Cherokee Alabama. Any information would help, from what my mom tells me she passed when she was 9-10 and she was a very quiet lady and she really didn't know much about her.

Comments

You have a marriage year of 1970, but she died in 1952. Did you mean 1917?

I'm sorry, I was putting my great grandfather fob of birth through the year he passed which was 1970.
