Possibly bogus citation[edit]

Born Cora Calhoun in Chattanooga, Tennessee, she studied music theory at Roger Williams University and Knoxville College in Nashville, Tennessee.

Roger Williams seems to have started in the 1950s, although a preceding institution dates to 1919. I tend to be suspicious of references to books withiut online links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.195.108.189 (talk) 17:52, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the link is wrong. Compare with Roger Williams University. 5lkdl (talk) 15:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eight brothers and sisters?[edit]

Hey there,

I‘ve got a question about Lovie‘s sisters and brothers: Were they really nine children (“she had eight brothers and sisters“) in total? The source refers to geni.com page that only mentions a Lovie Balance. Parents were a certain William Austin (which can‘t really be, since she was née Calhoun/Taylor) and his wife Mogieannah. Researchers Eagle/LeBlanc suggest a Lillie Taylor as her mother; findagrave.com gives a certain Arthur Calhoun as her father‘s name.

I think the source of Eagle/LeBlanc is true. What do you think? All the best --5lkdl (talk) 18:58, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
