**Regarding the social security number given on Annalee's death certificate:
Further research indicates that this number was not Annalee's but that of "John Mathews" - one of Reason Skarin's aliases. The social security number for "Nan Mathews" (Annalee), issued in 1957, is 547-56-6586. Whether Annalee and Reason had numbers for their true identities is not known.

Note from Sonia Easley:  The only way to really know whether Annalee physical body is buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery would be to exhume the body with descendants’ permission and to perform DNA testing also with descendants’ permission.  This was done on Jesse James’ body.  However, we would have to know that there would be no interference from special interests groups.  A daunting task, but one demanded by the Doubting Thomases!

On the other hand, the more profound question to the readers is this:  Would all of Annalee’s work be null and void for you if you were told that indeed Annalee died and her physical body is buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery?
