Mary Garff Featherstone

Mary Garff Featherstone (1893 – 1981), born Lehi, Utah and died in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, daughter of Louis and Amelia Garff.

Married to Thomas Maurice Featherstone (1893-1960) about 1918, I find record of two children in this marriage which ended with a divorce, the petition being filed in October of 1929. 
In the 1940 US Census Mary is in Salt Lake employed in sales in the hotel industry. Her daughter June is living with her. I have not found an obituary for Mary which may shed light for me on why she was in Wisconsin at the time of her death in 1981; further muddling my record is that the Utah Cemetery Index shows her death in Wisconsin in 1981 while burial in Lehi is in 1983. Nonetheless Mary is buried in Lehi, Utah County, near her daughter June F. Britton Berryman, while her son Fred Garff Featherstone is buried in American Fork. 
Mary was predeceased by at last three grandchildren.
