• Notes

  1920 Obituary: Age: 22 years, 7 months Residence: 5 Nelson St, South Norfolk, VA 1920 Death Certificate: Occupation: At house Cause of Death: Lobar pneumonia 1920 Record of Funeral: Age: 22 Years, 7 Months, 2 Days Occupation: At home Residence: 5 Nelson Some confusion in the Riverside Cemetery burial records about Alena's name and lot/grave number: Both her Death Certificate as informed by her husband Claude Lee and her Record of Funeral from the funeral home as paid for by her husband Claude Lee, list her name as Alena F Lee. The original (non-computerized) cemetery plot plan from the City of Norfolk for Lot 31, along with the City of Norfolk 'Graves' system, both list her name as Lena F Lee and that she's in Lot 31 Grave 4, next to her husband Claude Lee. As well her husband Claude Lee's 1918 Draft Registration Card lists her name as Lena F Lee. However there is no City of Norfolk Interment card for a Lena Lee per the City of Norfolk microfilm. Alternatively, there is a City of Norfolk Interment Card for the adjacent Lot 32 Grave 4 for Allen F. Lee showing the exact same age at death of 22 years and the exact same burial date of 4 Jan 1920. This Interment Card agrees with the City of Norfolk 'Graves' system showing Allen F Lee in Lot 32 Grave 4. There is possibly a typo in the computerization of the original cemetery plot plan from the City of Norfolk, with Alena F Lee/Allen F Lee being transcribed incorrectly. But there also remains the possability that there are two different people buried in the adjacent Lots 31 and 32 with very similar names. Hopefully someone comes across information in the future which resolves this question.
