Geneva B Elkins Anderson Hawkins

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/158876800/geneva_b_wright

From the census records, she was born in 1877 & her marriage to General Elkins gave this year also for her birth. Her date on her death certificate is Dec. 13, 1913.
Died from Tuberculosis

I believe in the 1910 census where it states Geneva was widowed, this could have been From her husband Lonnie. I'm not sure she was married to Alvin Hawkins. I can find no record. I believe her & Harlan divorced, because she has her children from him listed as Anderson in the 1910 census.

An age old question for me is the B. intial in her name on her stone. I can't find a record of it anywhere. No one so far knows what that stands for. Ever who bought her stone knew, but Geneva has always been a mystery for me on information about her. Not much is to be found.

Married General Elkins in 1893
Children: Virgie Elkins, Vina Elkins, Lydia Elkins, Bill Elkins, Lonnie Anderson, Harlan Hawkins
(I seen a another child listed as Fairlie born in 1901) Not for sure about her

In the 1910 census, Lydia is age 9 living with Geneva's sister Martha Looney at Jenkins, Ky. Says she was born in 1901. I don't have a death or any other info on her.
