Contributor note: Lavina Mow Heater was buried next to her father, Lewis T Mow, in SD.of17-11 of Evergreen Cemetery. Her grave is unmarked, but cemetery lot records indicate that she is in the grassy area between the large MOW monument for Lewis T Mow and the smaller individual headstone for LTM that has "FATHER" engraved at the top edge.
Although the obituary for Lavina Heater stated that her husband Austin Heater was buried in this Evergreen Cemetery, he is not found listed for this cemetery plot, nor in other verifiable cemetery references. /rkt 4/8/2010
