I was looking at the list of who is buried at my family cemetery. There is some incorrect information on the list. For example is says that Henry Vincent Smith was the husband of Laura Essie Odham Smith. Vincent was born November 12, 1922 and died April 14, 1995. Laura, commonly called Essie, was born November 14, 1901 and died September 9, 1939. At the time of her death, Essie would have been married to someone 16 years old. Vincent was actually Essie's son. I know this because Vincent is my first cousin and Essie was my father's sister.

Is it possible to get the info corrected?

Thank you,
