After some painstaking research it appears her name was Amy Massey Lynch Latimer. She had a child named Leroy Lynch with Ed.

Death cert. indicated parents as M V Massey of MO. and mother only name Rathbone, from England. Female, white, married, informant Anson S Latimer. Cause of death was pneumonia.

After finding her death cert. more researching lead me to find out she had been married to Ed Lynch. He is listed on a stone with the surname Massey on it. I had him listed as Ed Lynch Massey and now I think that is an error. Also this MO. marriage I found at ancestry listed her as Miss, and I beleve that was an error.
