There seems to be a difference in her birth year. Her tombstone has the year as 1927, however, in her obituary the birth year is 1926 and on the Social Security Death Index it is also 1926. Robert L. Hatt has a birthday listed as July 1926 also and unless they were twins then there is a mistake and it is probably with Robert's birthdate. On the 1930 census Lorena is listed as being 3 and 9/12 years old which supports a birth year of 1926.
