Jeremiah Jerry Gilbert

Name: 1878 - 1937 Jemima Gilbert and Jerry Gilbert 1882 - 1940
Joemimia Gilbert
Death Date: 09 Jul 1937
County of Death: Bibb

Name: Jury Gilbert
Death Date: 03 Jun 1940
County of Death: Bibb
Gender: M
Race: C

I am assuming that this is Jemima because she lived with Jerry in the county of Bibb
Plus Aunt JoAnn mentioned seeing her once when she was a little girl. Aunt JoAnn was born in 1933, so she was maybe 3 or 4 years old then.

Jury is Jerry.
