20 Nov 2010; From our Feedback
page from Phil Cantrell Jr: You have done a great job with the site. However, I
must point out to you an error on one of the people in the site. Etta Mae
Short, daughter of Monroe Bartley Short and Lucinda Jane "Cinda" Mullins, was my
great-grandmother and I would like to help you in assuring that all information
is correct for all who choose to view it.
Etta Mae Short was born April 22, 1904 in Wise County, Virginia. She died May
27, 1956 in Wise County, Virginia and was liad to rest in the Eli Mullins Family
Cemetery on the Bold Camp section of Pound, Wise County, Virginia. She married
John Webster Cantrell on July 11, 1918 in Wise County, Virginia, the son of
David Lee "Cub" Cantrell and Mary Geneva Mullins. John was born May 24, 1897 in
Dickenson County, Virginia. He died March 8, 1982 in Wise County, Virginia and
was laid to rest in the Eli Mullins Family Cemetery as well.
Their son, Frank Cantrell, (Apr 18 1922 - May 2 2002) was my grandfather.
I hope this helps as I, much the same as you as it seems in the information you
have gathered and the care you have taken in assembling it, take great pride in
making sure I always have the correct information.
Thanks, and keep up the great work
