Birth*Ardilla was born circa 1873 in Montgomery Co., Georgia, d/o Henry Herndon & Samantha Miller. The stonecarver botched her headstone, too. It should probably read 1873, not 1863. Ardilla was 27 yo in the 1900 census, 36 yo in the 1910, 46 in the 1920, etc. Clearly she was not born in 1863.2 
Marriage*She married Frederick W. Underwood, son of John T. Underwood and Jane Wyatt, on 10 November 1895 in Montgomery Co., Georgia. Fred is listed as F M on the license, F W on the return.

Death*Ardilla died on 28 October 1949 in Appling Co., Georgia.2
