Goldsboro News-Argus, 27 September 1950.

Though this obituary states Lillian Fields was buried in 1950 in “Rountree” Cemetery, her death certificate lists Hooks Grove Cemetery in Wayne County, which seems more likely as she lived all but a few years in Wayne County. (A reminder to always cross-check references.)
