Zona Davidson was born in 1885. A web search turned up a Social Security record for a Zona Biggs that matches the birth and death years of our Zona, and indicates that she was born in Florida on 12 April 1885,
if that is our Zona. She married
Reverand J. Quincy Biggs (1878-1968), who was about 7 years her senior; and who also lived a long life of 90 years.
The RootsWeb page for this cemetery also matches the Social Security record, and mentions that her real name was Nancy Arizona ("Zona") Davidson Biggs. All records merely state that she died in April 1987, but do not give the day. She was 73 years old when Rev. Biggs died in 1968, and apparently married again to a man named Fred Reasor. She died in New Hampshire, but was interred here next to her first husband.
Since we do not know which day she passed away (no online obituaries state it), I have chosen to play it conservative and state that she was at least 101 years old. If she lived to the 12th or later of April 1987, then she was 102.
