Per Jack Hatfield (https://www.facebook.com/jack.hatfield.3958?fref=ufi):
"Ruth and I visited her gravesite this Spring. Actually, she has two
tombstones, the older one with her name spelled "Malvine", possibly the
way her name was once pronounced. The newer one has the spelling as
Melvina (same as on her death certificate). From Cousin Michael Hatfield,
I have been told that the Morris Mem. Hos. Cem. is now called Kilgore
Cemetery, located in Milton, W.Va.."
