Abstract of a Death Certificate for Malissa Kolmetz Atwell

 My Great Grandmother, Alice Malissa Kolmetz, married William Sherman Givens.  After his death, she married second, John Atwell.

 She was born 13 July, 1867 or 1868, in Washington County, Florida.  Her father was Friedrich Kolmetz who was born in Germany.  Her mother was Matilda Worley Kolmetz.

Alice died on 4 May 1946, (just 6 days before I was born).  At the time of her death, she was living in Valparaiso, Florida (Okaloosa County).  The informant for the information on the death certificate was her daughter, Mary Louise Givens Cutts of Niceville, Florida.  The cause of her death was pneumonia and flu.  The doctor, O.D. Enzor, last saw her alive on 3 May 1946.  [Dr. Enzor lived and practiced in Crestview, Florida].

She was buried in the Almarante Cemetery at Laurel Hill, Florida (Okaloosa County), as was her first husband, William Sherman Givens.  The funeral director was L. E. McLaughlin.

There is a good bit of family information at the Findagrave Website/Memorial.   https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/74391332/alice-malissa-givens

My grandfather, Richard L. Givens is also buried in that location as are several other family members.
