    Dessie SHEETS Death Certificate
    Daughter of John Flint and Ola MCKENZIE SHEETS. Name on this certificate is Margaret A. but Grandma always called her Dessie. A bible entry has her as Marthia Ondessie or Arndessie. Can\'t know for sure.

    It has what looks like Dessie name as Marthia Ordessa or Ondessa? Also, who is America Arvilla SHEETS?

  • Notes 
    • The death certificate for "Dessie" has the following info:

      Full Name: Margaret A. Sheets
      DOB: 26 Jun 1905
      Birth Place: Ark.
      Father: Flint Sheets
      Mother: Margaret McKenzie born in MS (my note: maybe her middle name was Ola?)
      Informant: M.M. McKenzie (This must be Dessie's grandfather Marion M. McKenzie. I wonder if both Ola and John Flint were dead by the time Dessie died?)
      Date of Death: 11 Aug 1915
      Cause of Death: Malarial Hepatitis and Spunitis?
      Place of Burial: Macedonia (I didn't find her grave at the Macedonia cemetery I visited in 2001. Town people said there are two Macedonia Cemeteries, but I only found one. At the one I found, the McKenzies are buried there).
